Although liposuction is an effective means of removing stubborn excess fat that from areas of the body that do not otherwise respond to diet and exercise, maintaining the results of liposuction requires diligence.

[b]Maintain a Healthy Diet[/b]

One way to keep your rejuvenated form following liposuction is to pay attention to the foods you put into your body. Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits to keep your cells and digestive system strong, and to properly regulate your metabolism.

During meals, watch your portions and aim for balanced nutrition. You do not have to deny yourself sweets, but remember to take everything in moderation. Another easy and healthy habit is to increase your intake of water.

[b]Stay Active[/b]

If you did not work out before your liposuction, following your healing process would be a good time to start. Use the stairs instead of the elevator, or walk down to the grocery store. Keep your new body in motion.

Liposuction can help restore a more youthful appearance. The proper diet and fitness habits will help you keep it.

If you live in the Albuquerque or Santa Fe areas and are considering liposuction, please contact board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael S. Hopkins at the Plastic Surgery Center, P.C.
