I’ve had liposuction…Now what?
I VE HAD LIPOSUCTION NOW WHAT?
Tumescent or local anesthesia liposuction over the years has become a very safe method to remove unwanted fat and decrease inches over problem areas. Liposuction in fact is ranked in the number 1 and 2 spots of all cosmetic procedures, according to the ASAPS (American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) 1 Cosmetic surgery procedures have in most instances been extremely effective in providing a fairly rapid change in body appearance, increasing self esteem, enhancing outward beauty, and erasing years of age that are so cruelly imposed upon us. Liposuction is actually the only cosmetic surgery procedure that provides several benefits beyond just beautification. The benefits consist of in most cases, a modest amount of weight loss that is of course highly variable, but can be in the 5-10 or more pound range within weeks after the procedure. There are a few surgeons who practice mega liposuction on very obese patients in which more pounds can be shed however the risks of complications is higher in that group of patients. Liposuction, however in its strictest sense, is not an effective weight loss strategy because it is impossible to remove enough fat safely to provide most people the weight loss they are ultimately seeking. What does occur after liposuction is that in many people, at least in the initial weeks after a significant amount of belly fat has been removed, the body experiences a resetting, of its hormonal balance of estrogen dominance because fat cells are full of estrogen receptors and excess estrogen in both women and men cause fat to be stored in our body. The thickening of women’s bodies and the softening of men’s bodies are often related to excess estrogen especially perimenopausal women and men aged 40 and up but it is also a significant cause of weight gain in the younger population as well.
