After Liposuction – Why and How to Maintain Your Weight

Liposuction is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure that offers a quick and effective way to remove stubborn fat deposits from various areas of the body. Although it provides an immediate improvement in body shape, it is crucial to understand that liposuction in particular is not a weight loss solution or a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. While it’s important to keep weight under control after all body contouring procedures, as we’ve explained before, liposuction is entirely about fat reduction. Therefore, to maintain the aesthetic results and reap the long-term benefits of this procedure, it may be even more essential to manage your weight after liposuction.

Managing Weight After Body Contouring Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery patients who get body contouring procedures such as liposuction and tummy tucks are often understandably concerned about possible weight gains after their procedure. They understand that, as plastic surgeons should always explain, these surgeries make us look and feel more physically fit but are not intended for weight loss. While liposuction and tummy tucks address the fat outside of the abdominal cavity and the abdominal skin, the fat inside the abdominal cavity around the organs must be addressed by dieting. Patients therefore often express concerns about how they will maintain their weight as they get older and what might happen if they gain too much weight over time. It’s...

Can You Afford Plastic Surgery?

People often have contradictory impressions about plastic surgery. On the one hand, they may think it’s so expensive that it’s really only for movie stars, pop music idols, supermodels, and “real” housewives. On the other hand, too many people considering a procedure think it’s a good idea to shop around for the least expensive one, sometimes in foreign countries with lax medical regulation. If you do the latter, you’re subjecting yourself to real danger and will likely get results that are disappointing at best; if you believe the former, however, you may be missing out on a legitimate opportunity to feel and look your very best.

What is a Mini Tummy Tuck?

Intended for patients who have extra skin limited to their lower abdomen, commonly due to pregnancy or weight loss, a mini tummy tuck procedure produces a slimmer contour and a tighter look for the lower abdominal area. As with standard abdominal contouring, excess skin and fat are removed while the abdominal muscles are tightened. Limited to the lower abdominal area, the surgery has a quicker recovery time than a full tummy tuck. Full Tummy Tuck vs. Mini Tummy Tuck A traditional tummy tuck is generally meant for patients who want to remove excess skin and fat in their upper and lower abdomen, something that doesn’t respond to a low-calorie...

Juvederm Treatments

Juvederm treatments are cosmetic injections used to fill in sunken facial features, such as nasolabial folds and thin lips. The filler is a smooth gel that appears smooth and natural, rather than hard, stiff and lumpy. It can be used to fill in mild to moderate lines and folds, making it possible to temporarily re-contour the face to take on a more youthful appearance. Outcomes vary from person to person, but most patients achieve immediate results that reduce the appearance of lines, folds and hollowed areas of the face for up to one year. Did you know...
