What Happens If I Gain Weight Again After Liposuction?
Actually, the question is, "Is there any lubrication in the same place after liposuction?"
It should be because if you are thinking of having liposuction and you are worried about gaining weight, we can assume that you are inclined to this issue…
Liposuction is perhaps one of the most applied aesthetic surgical procedures and the fastest and most effective returns are obtained.
We asked Estetica Istanbul what happened after liposuction and what would happen if weight was regained:
“Let's immediately answer your question clearly and precisely:. The new contours that we bring to the body after liposuction will remain there permanently.
Even when you gain a reasonable weight, you will continue to maintain this new shape, but this is around 3-4 kilos on average.
In other words, the patient's new body lines will remain unaffected against this weight gain.
In short, as long as the patient does not gain too much weight, they can enjoy their new physique. There will undoubtedly be changes in body shape due to the natural aging process.
However, the results of the liposuction procedure will still be evident.”
In Case Of Obvious Weight Gain After Liposuction…
“The obvious weight gain after liposuction will affect the patient's body shape.
For example, a patient who initially weighed 65 kilograms and lost 3 kilograms of fat through liposuction would ideally weigh approximately 62 kilograms after the edema subsided after surgery.
If the same patient gains 65 kilos after liposuction surgery, the aesthetic results of the procedure will still remain, it will be obvious, but you will feel the difference.
However, if this patient reaches a weight above 65 after liposuction, it will significantly affect the results of the procedure.
Patients Who Do Not Have The Determination To Maintain Their Weight After Liposuction
“Look, we would like to say clearly and warn that patients who do not have the determination to maintain their weight after liposuction should consider having liposuction once again.
Yes, you're right, no one can really predict the future. But you can change some things in your life and take precautions.
For example, you can plan to exercise and change your lifestyle a little, and in this way, you can make the lipo surgery permanent. At this point, let's remember the suitable candidates for liposuction surgery."
Best Liposuction Candidates
“Those who are confident that they will maintain their body weight after liposuction and follow a balanced diet and healthy, regular regimen routine are the best patient candidates.
If the patient gains a significant amount of weight after liposuction plastic surgery, the volume of fat cells will increase and this fat will appear in various parts of the body.
New fats usually accumulate in body areas in proportion to the number of fat cells in each area.
Of course, as a result, the areas where liposuction is applied will collect less fat than before, and the weight will be distributed more evenly throughout the body.
Let's give an example of this, for example, let's say that the patient had liposuction of the hip, outer thigh and abdomen, and after that, he gained a significant amount of weight.
These newly gained weights will be distributed more evenly to the whole body, not directly to these areas as in the past.
After Liposuction Surgery
“We advise my patients to adopt a healthy lifestyle after liposuction surgery. In the early recovery phase, light walks can be done to ensure good blood flow.
Within two to three weeks after lipo, they can gradually increase their activity level without putting any pressure on the area.
Point-sized incisions heal completely in about a month, and the patient can do more aggressive exercises during this time.
A diet that includes fruits, vegetables and fiber, while avoiding saturated fats and processed foods as much as possible, will be of great benefit.”
