Sono Bello surgeon Dr. Al-Mufarrej dives into Liposuction and its impact on weight dynamics! 💫🧡
Did you know that liposuction isn’t primarily a weight reduction surgery? It’s designed to contour and debulk your body, creating a more sculpted appearance. Here are some key factors to consider regarding weight after liposuction:
1️⃣ The amount of fat extracted plays a role in weight loss. On average, for every liter of fat removed, you can expect a 2.3lb reduction in weight. Remember, muscle actually weighs more than fat!
2️⃣ In the first three weeks post-surgery, it’s normal to experience temporary weight gain due to inflammation and water retention.
3️⃣ Weight loss may vary depending on the extent of your procedure. If you undergo treatments like abdominal skin removal or breast reduction, your weight loss might be more significant. Skin, being the largest organ in the body, contributes to overall weight.
4️⃣ Conversely, liposuction procedures involving fat grafting (e.g., Brazilian Butt Lift) or breast augmentation may result in less weight loss.
5️⃣ Achieving sustainable weight loss requires a holistic approach. Incorporating a healthy diet and regular exercise will enhance your results. Remember, the caloric intake you maintain post-surgery will impact your weight loss outcome. You should aim to eat less calories and more protein long term after liposuction to prevent fat accumulation in untreated and undesirable
areas (eg visceral fat).
Embrace the exciting journey of body transformation, self-love, and positive changes! 🧡 ✨
