Weight Regain After VASER Liposuction? 3 Tips to Keep Your Curves

Will you regain weight after VASER liposuction? This is a question many people considering liposuction ask. Having spent money on VASER liposuction, of course you want to keep your great figure afterward. Losing fat is not actually hard; the hardest part is maintaining your shape afterward. So what should you do to avoid regaining weight after VASER liposuction? This article shows you how to keep your perfect curves after VASER liposuction!

2 Key Causes of Weight Regain After VASER Liposuction

"VASER liposuction has already removed fat from the body. With fewer fat cells, why can I still regain weight?"

If you have the same question, consider this: if you eat unhealthy foods every day that are high in calories, sugar, and fried foods, there is of course still a chance of regaining weight. To maintain a slim figure after VASER liposuction, never make these 2 mistakes!

1. Not building proper eating habits after VASER liposuction

VASER liposuction surgery quickly and effectively removes fat from the body and sculpts the figure by reducing the number of fat cells, but this does not mean you are set for life or can eat without restraint. Because the number of fat cells in the treated areas has been reduced, those areas are less prone to regaining fat, but the fat cells in untreated areas can still expand, distorting the figure you worked so hard to get. Besides eating more healthy, nutritious whole foods, we recommend building proper eating habits to keep your perfect shape after VASER liposuction.

2. A low basal metabolic rate means you gain weight even on a normal diet

Weight regain after VASER liposuction has another key factor: basal metabolic rate! Basal metabolic rate is the number of calories your body burns naturally even if you do nothing all day. Some people diet or are afraid to eat much in order to keep their shape after liposuction, but this often only lowers their basal metabolic rate and makes them prone to gaining weight no matter what they eat. To avoid regaining weight after VASER liposuction, in addition to eating normally, we recommend keeping your daily calorie intake from exceeding your basal metabolic rate and building muscle with resistance training. Increasing muscle mass also raises your basal metabolic rate and gives you a more balanced, attractive figure.

3 Aftercare Tips After VASER Liposuction

The main reasons for weight regain after VASER liposuction are "post-op diet" and "basal metabolic rate." As long as you master these 3 aftercare tips, you can achieve results that keep your figure without weight regain.

1. Eat a light diet and get more protein

VASER liposuction patients are advised to eat a light diet rich in protein during the recovery period after the procedure. For example, cook food by steaming or boiling, avoid adding too much seasoning, and choose whole foods rather than processed foods. For protein, focus on white meats such as fish and chicken, and avoid red meat as much as possible so as not to burden the body.

VASER liposuction patients should also build good eating habits once the recovery period is over and control their daily calorie intake. Stay away from high-calorie foods such as fried food, sweets, and refined starches as much as possible, and never overeat without restraint, and you can keep your figure after VASER liposuction looking even more perfect!

2. Exercise appropriately to raise your basal metabolic rate

Once you control your daily calorie intake, exercise is another important piece. Besides raising your basal metabolic rate, building muscle also makes your figure look better. However, in the first month after VASER liposuction, you should avoid strenuous exercise so that your body can recover gradually. After one month, you can do gentler exercise, starting with yoga or jogging. Once your body can handle that intensity, gradually start strength training to build muscle, which helps keep your figure from going out of shape after VASER liposuction.

3. Compression garment plus massage to speed up the recovery of skin elasticity

With the right eating habits and a regular exercise routine, you have basically maintained your figure after VASER liposuction. But if you also want to keep your shape firm and toned, you must wear a compression garment after VASER liposuction. Besides maintaining your shape, it also helps wounds heal faster. We recommend wearing the compression garment for at least 1 month, and you can pair it with localized massage to help the skin regain its elasticity faster.
