Many people want to lose weight quickly through liposuction, mistakenly believing that liposuction can make sudden weight loss and thinking that how can you be considered thin if your weight does not drop? First of all, let’s be clear: liposuction = shaping Liposuction ≠ weight loss Liposuction is to make your fat distribution become more dense and firm and arranged, not simply to draw away fat alone. In fact, liposuction does not have a significant impact on your weight. Liposuction is mainly about shaping, reducing circumference to make your body curve look better and more proportional, not reducing your weight. Fat cells are actually the lightest in the body. The body’s adipose tissue is far lighter than other tissues (such as muscle tissue, internal organs, bones, and skin tissue) and contains only 20% of the water. A large mass of fat does not even weigh as much as a muscle! ▲ Comparison of the same weight of fat and muscle Liposuction is a kind of sculpting surgery, after liposuction makes your local body shape change, become thinner and more proportional, but the weight actually does not change greatly. So many people only lose a little bit of weight after liposuction, but their body shape will change dramatically. Will I rebound after liposuction? What liposuction reduces is the number of fat cells, while the reason for obesity is that the fat volume is getting bigger. Since the number of fat cells in adults is basically constant, using various methods such as diet and diet pills only reduces the size of the cells, and it is difficult to achieve weight loss once and for all. Liposuction, on the other hand, directly reduces the number of cells. As long as you maintain a good diet and exercise in moderation after surgery, the liposuction effect is long-lasting and not easily rebounded. Will liposuction loosen the skin? Liposuction is mainly for local shaping, and there is a limit to the amount of liposuction each time, so the skin will not become loose because there is less fat all of a sudden. The human skin is elastic, and there will be a gradual process of recovery and tightening after liposuction. Subcutaneous tissue repair after liposuction produces collagen fibers and elastic fibers, which have a certain degree of skin tightening effect. And you need to wear shapewear for 3 months after surgery to assist in recovery and make the skin tighter and flatter. Will my skin be bumpy after liposuction? The principle of liposuction is to remove only the deep layer of fat and keep at least 1 cm of superficial fat. As long as you choose an experienced surgeon in a regular hospital, conditions such as uneven skin or sagging will not occur. Severe unevenness is a technical problem. When the doctor sucks the liposuction, the deeper and shallower layers are not pumped in one level, and the unevenness will occur. How do I take care of myself after liposuction? You need to rest for 2-3 days after liposuction. The general recovery period for liposuction surgery is 1 to 3 months, but this time is not absolute. The recovery after liposuction varies depending on the physique of each candidate, and in general, the younger you are, the stronger the repair ability of the tissue, and the shorter the recovery time. 1, after surgery wear shapewear, can help you shape; 2, medication, please use under the guidance of the doctor: anti-inflammatory drugs (oral 3-5 days, static drops); anti-swelling and pain relief drugs, a week after the removal of the stitches can be used locally anti-scarring drugs; 3, post-operative diet attention, do not smoke and drink, do not eat spicy and stimulating food, light diet more fresh vegetables and fruits, in order to recover faster; 4, about a week after surgery can Take a proper walk, which can speed up the blood flow and promote recovery. But avoid strenuous exercise, which will not only hinder the recovery, but also may make your liposuction area bruise or wound collapse.
