Liposuction: What Happens Next?

Can people put their weight back on after lipo? 

The answer is: yes, it is definitely possible. 

First, let's take a look at the areas that are available for lipo. 
= Arms, thighs, abdomen, waist, back, chest, calves, and face. 


Now, what kind of post-operative care is needed so that the treatment is successful? 

= Avoid stimulating & greasy food 
= Avoid smoking & drinking for at least 2 weeks 
= Avoid going to the sauna for at least 4 weeks 
= Receive physical therapy for at least 4 weeks 

But, even with all the post-operative care and therapy, you can gain more weight than your previous weight if you are not careful. 

Basically, the fat cells that are stored in your body are sucked out by a cannula (a thin tube). The fat cells that are removed don't come back into your body. But, if you get lazy and consume more calories than your body needs, then new fat cells may form. These fat cells get "fatter," consequently making you "gain weight." 

So make sure to go on a healthy diet and exercise regularly if you want to maintain your new contour.
