So, you decided to undergo liposuction this summer to eliminate those stubborn fat deposits for a slimmer silhouette. And now that you are enjoying your results, you would like to maintain them long-term. What some don’t understand is that you cannot return to the same old habits following liposuction and expect to maintain results. Maintaining liposuction results requires modifying certain aspects of your lifestyle, so we have created a list of tips to help you enjoy your results, longer.
Break a Sweat
Although it may be obvious, regular exercise is a must for maintaining results. According to the Mayo Clinic, healthy adults should get “at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity.” Strength training is also important, with the Mayo clinic recommending it at least two times a week. So, hit the gym or the trails to get your body moving!
Eat Smart
Eating a healthy diet should go hand in hand with regular exercise. If you were not making healthy eating choices before your liposuction procedure, you will want to make this lifestyle change in order to preserve results. Incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your diet, as well as whole grains and lean proteins can help you to look and feel your best. Also, cut back on your intake of simple carbs, sugars, and saturated fats for best results.
While liposuction is a great procedure for removing stubborn pockets of fat, it is important to remember that weight can still be gained following the procedure. By following these tips, you can maintain your liposuction results while making the most of your time and money.
