Tips
1. Don’t skip meals
We often believe that we will lose weight more quickly if we stop eating, but the truth is that our body needs food. Depriving ourselves of food, not only can lead us to lose muscle instead of fat, but it can also damage our health. Also, the fact of being hungry and living under restrictions will only lead us to overeat when we get “bored” of this routine.
2. Respect your rations and split your dish into three sections.
One of the easiest ways to manage our meals is to split the dish into 3 sections. One of the easiest ways to manage our meals is to split the dish into 3 sections. A quarter of the dish should contain protein, the other quarter carbohydrates and the remaining half vegetables or fruits. This way, we can be organized and eat according to our needs. Let’s look always for a balance in our meals by eating all the food groups.
2. Exercises
A good physical exercise routine after your surgery will help your body complete the process of getting rid of fat cells from other body areas and prevent weight gain, improving your body shape even more.

After liposuction or liposculpture it is essential to take care of our skin to keep it firm and avoid sagging.
