To know the answer, continue reading this blog below.    

What is Liposuction? 

It is a minimally invasive procedure which treats localized fat pockets in arms, thighs, legs, abdomen, hips, etc. The main aim of the procedure is to contour the body rather than lose weight. 

The steps of the procedure include the surgeon creating small incisions close to the location of the area he is targeting, and then he places thin tubes within the opening. On the outer end a vacuum is connected and it then lures the body’s fat cells out.

There are several different types of liposuction which include:

Tumescent Liposuction:

A fluid is injected to numb the area and make the fat easier to remove. 

Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction:

Fat is liquefied using ultrasound waves before it is sucked. 

Laser-Assisted Liposuction:

Fat is melted first with a laser before it is removed. 

How Much Fat Does Liposuction Remove?

The quantity removed is largely dependent on the area of treatment:

• Abdomen: 2 to 2.5 pounds.
• Love Handles: 2 to 2.5 pounds.
• Thighs: 1.5 to 3 pounds.
• Arms: 1 to 2 pounds.
• Chin/Neck: 0.5 to 1 pound.

The 5 Liter Rule:

Many plastic surgeons and safety guidelines suggest that 5 liters (approximately 11 lbs) a session is the maximum for a few reasons.

Can Fat Regrow After Liposuction? 

Fat removed at the surgery is permanently removed, however if individuals do gain weight after the surgery, the body’s existing fat will enlarge and in extreme weight gain, new fat cells begin to grow within the body.

To protect results, have a healthy lifestyle, eating habits, and have a proper workout plan.

How to Maintain Liposuction Results:

Healthy Eating Habits:

Strive for a well-balanced meal containing lean protein, vegetables and whole grains. Limit sugar, fried food and junk food that may result in fat gain.

Regular Physical Activity:

Working out can ward off new fat gain and help maintain toned muscles. Do at least 2-3 sessions of cardiovascular and strength training each week.

Stable Body Weight:

Aim for maintaining the same weight following surgery. If the person puts on weight, fat will reappear in untreated regions.

Proper Hydration:

Avoid dehydration, aiding the metabolism and preventing bloating. Fostering good hydration helps maintain the skin’s tone as well.

Avoiding Weight Fluctuations:

Weight fluctuations can have an impact on body contours. Consistent exercise is more effective for maintaining the shape.

Following Post-Operative Instructions:

After the liposuction follow your surgeon’s instructions closely. This covers medication use, limits of activity and follow up visits.

Wearing Compression Garments as Recommended:

Compression garments will prevent swelling and aid healing. They also help to form the area that was being treated in the recovery process.

Long-Term Lifestyle Discipline:

To maintain results, it is important to go through the procedure along with adopting daily habits. Over the years a disciplined lifestyle helps to keep the body contoured.
