When you choose to have liposuction, you are making an investment in an aesthetically better you. You want to get the most out of the procedure whether you are getting Vaser Hi Def Liposuction, Tumescent or another form of liposuction. What you do before and after the procedure matters if you want to love your results.
Understand that liposuction is not a weight loss procedure
The best candidates for lipo are close to normal weight. They have "trouble" areas that need to be targeted to give them a more sculpted look. Their skin is firm, elastic, hydrated and healthy. Lipo is not a way to lose weight.
Know Your Options
There are several types of liposuction. Some are less invasive and reduce recovery time. Talk with your doctor about your goals to determine which procedure is right for you.
Follow Doctor's Orders
Your doctor will give you specific instructions for before, during and after the procedure. Be sure to follow them for the best results and to reduce the risk of complications. Your doctor may recommend light physical activity right after the procedure to avoid clotting. She will tell you to stay well hydrated. She will likely tell you to avoid herbal or Omega supplements. Or she may advise you to wear compression garments. Whatever she recommends, don't take the instructions lightly.
Choose a Trusted Doctor
Who does your procedure is as important as what procedure you have. Only work with a reputable doctor who you feel you can trust. You want someone with experience in the procedure who has a history of getting great results.
Don't Expect Too Much To Much Too Soon
You won't look "great" right after the procedure. Your body will need to adjust and it could take 3 months or more for your "new body" to take shape. Be patient. It's worth it.
Ask Questions
Don't be afraid to ask questions to your doctor and others who have had the procedure.
Maintain Healthy Habits
What we do for our bodies will only last as long as we maintain it. Proper diet, exercise and stress management are important to love your results for a lifetime.
