A study published in the December  issue
of  Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery(r), the  official  medical
journal  of  the  American Society  of  Plastic  Surgeons  (ASPS)
suggests  that  liposuction patients are 3 times more  likely  to
gain  weight without adhering to a proper diet and 4  times  more
likely to gain weight without regular exercise.
"If  patients want positive long-term results  from  liposuction,
they  have  to  be willing to eat a  proper  diet  and  exercise.
Ultimately, it's a lifestyle choice. This is especially important
to  remember  as we approach the holiday season when  people  are
invited  to  more parties and social activities  where  diet  and
exercise may be overlooked." lead researcher Rod Rohrich said.

In  the study, which surveyed more than 200 patients, 43  percent
gained weight after having liposuction, with the majority gaining
weight after six months; 25 percent lost weight; while 32 percent
experienced no change in weight.

The  study  says that patients play a considerable  role  in  the
long-term  success  of their liposuction results.  Not  only  are
patients who have poor eating and exercise habits more likely  to
gain weight after liposuction, those who do gain weight have a 62
percent  chance of an increase in clothing size, causing them  to
be  10 times more likely to be dissatisfied with  their  results,
compared to patients who eat a healthy diet and exercise.

Patients  who adhere to a proper diet after liposuction  are  two
times more likely to lose weight and have a 96 percent chance  of
a  decrease  in clothing size, causing them to be 15  times  more
likely to be satisfied with their results and have improved long-
term outcomes. (ANI)
