Will
the fat come back? |
|
Because
the thickness of the "fat
organ" is reduced
in the areas treated,
the changes are permanent.
Excess food intake will,
as before, result in fat
accumulation, but this
will occur more in other,
untreated parts of the
body. |

|
How
long do I need to wear
the garment or girdle? |
|
I usually
recommend three to six
weeks, depending on the
degree of skin looseness,
the age of the patient,
the amount of fat removed,
and I examine the patient
several times during the
healing period. Some areas,
such as the upper arms,
require only a short period
of support. |
|
|
When
can I resume exercise? |
|
I encourage
walking during the first
few days after surgery,
light aerobic exercise
(treadmill or stationary
bicycle) a week to ten
days after surgery, and
full activity after three
weeks. Swimming is also
fine, and can be started
quite early. |
