How important is exercise after liposuction?

 

To define, liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess and stubborn fat from a particular part of the body with suction.

There are several different posts I uploaded previously regarding liposuction. If you would like to know more about this type of surgery, you can search on our homepage or blog.

In today’s post, I would like to discuss post-liposuction care that is the importance of exercise. If you are planning to undergo liposuction, it is necessary to bear in mind that liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. Moreover, the result does not last forever.

What it does is remove a particular amount of fat from a specific part of the body. Just because the doctor removes the fat does not mean that the fat will not accumulate anymore.

Regardless of the amount of fat removed, fat can return, even in large amounts, when you do not follow post-surgery instructions and take care of the result.

How to take care after liposuction? There are two ways for that: diet and exercise. Combining two of them would benefit you much by increasing the efficacy of the surgery and last it longer.

When can you start exercising? You cannot exercise right after the surgery because there might be some swelling on the incision site.

Therefore, the doctor recommends exercising about one month after the surgery.

When the stitches are removed in 2 weeks, you can start from mild walking or jogging. And after about a month, you can gradually increase the level of your exercise programs.

Regular exercises and a carefully planned diet will boost the effect of liposuction and help you maintain your desired body contour.

It might not be easy. However, your efforts will pay off. Therefore, you should not neglect the importance of exercises after liposuction surgery. Just removing the fat is not permanent.
