Cosmetic surgery is an investment in yourself. You want to make sure you protect or maintain your cosmetic surgery investment and keep feeling good inside and out.
Most patients are thrilled with their results for many years after surgery, however, it’s important to understand that your results are best served by staying in shape. And while nothing can fully stop the effects of aging, you can take some measures to preserve your results for as long as possible. Here are a few tips we often share with our plastic surgery patients in Miami.
1- START WITH EATING RIGHT AND REGULAR EXERCISE.
No surprise here! Body contouring can give you beautiful curves and the results may seem magical, but it only lasts as long as you maintain a healthy weight.
Fat removal procedures like liposuction will permanently rid you of targeted fat cells, but if you gain weight, you will see it in other areas of your body as the remaining fat cells will expand as they normally do.
The best thing is that maintaining a healthy diet and exercise program will improve your overall health and what looks better than feeling great.
Pro tip: Recovery from cosmetic surgery can be a challenge for active patients since the recovery time will affect your regular exercise routine. Eating right and introducing non-strenuous activity when it’s safe can get you back to the gym as a smooth transition once you’ve healed.
