In Atlanta, liposuction, whether it be traditional or laser-assisted lipo, is one of the most common procedures I perform. Many of the patients that come into my Atlanta, Georgia plastic surgery practice have worked really hard to reach a healthy weight but have one or a few areas of fat they can’t seem to shake. Due to liposuction being a body contouring procedure, these patients are ideal candidates and can easily obtain the body they’ve been working towards. It also helps to be as close to your goal weight as possible because new studies show that fat has a tendency to return within one year of a liposuction procedure.
Don’t just write off liposuction just yet. In fact, fat has shown to be quite adamant in returning after dieting and exercising as well. However, whereas fat usually returns to the same spots after diet and exercise, the fat will not settle back into any areas that have previously been liposuctioned. Meaning, your sexy shape will still be retained.
But why is fat so adamant on returning no matter what we do? Scientists believe that the brain, or possibly some other part of the body, is trying to regulate the body after weight loss, which could cause the body to gain back any poundage that has been lost. If scientists are able to prove this, it means that maintaining a healthy body weight from the start is more important than ever. It definitely is worth considering before you reach for the chips over whole wheat crackers to give to your children.
The bottom line is that a healthy lifestyle should be maintained no matter what. Liposuction is a great tool to help with any problem areas, but it is not a weight loss procedure. Even afterwards, it’s important to continue a healthy diet and to exercise daily in order to combat the fat that will try and return.
To your health and beauty,
