Excellent planning always works wonders towards a positive outcome. When getting ready for liposuction from a plastic surgeon, you want to “do the right thing” so all goes well during and after your treatment.
The office of MOSA Surgery is highly experienced with the diagnoses and treatments of plastic surgery needs throughout the body. We provide the ultimate quality of skilled and compassionate treatment.
Check off these boxes to get ready for your procedure.
Slim down or get close to your goal weight. Liposuction treatments are meant to banish stubborn fat that exercise and weight loss couldn’t eliminate. Getting rid of the fat that exercise and weight loss could eliminate lets the plastic surgeon target the fat that workouts and shedding pounds couldn’t eliminate.
Stop smoking cigarettes. Nicotine constricts the blood vessels throughout your body, and because plastic surgery is so delicate and relies on excellent blood flow, any hindrances to its flow will compromise the surgical results. The degree of blood flow also has a major impact on the recovery process. It promotes efficient healing and a lowered risk of developing a blood clot.
Be mindful of what you eat. Good food sparks good healing, and it increases skin elasticity. Concentrate on foods high in antioxidants. Go for cucumbers, berries, celery and squashes. Hone in of foods high in omega-3 fatty acids such as cruciferous vegetables, fish (cold-water fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, tuna, herring and sardines), nuts and seeds (flaxseed, chia seeds, walnuts) and plant oils (flaxseed oil, soybean oil, canola oil, olive oil). And drink lots of water! Ask your plastic surgeon if you should be taking any particular vitamins.
Another prep step is to ready your home for your recovery period. Though you’ll probably rebound quickly, you’ll need to rest and relax for a few days. Have your essential items on your nightstand, get help to care for your kids and/or pets, stock up on foods that are easy to prepare and lay out clothes that will be comfortable post-procedure.
Following these lipo prep tips will set you up for success. The office of MOSA Surgery takes pride in its outstanding service, attention to detail and friendly professionalism. You will receive excellent care and explanations of your best options. Please call us today for an appointment to find out how we can help you!
