What should I pay attention to before liposuction?
Losing weight is a problem that many people are very concerned about, but it is difficult for overweight people to achieve obvious results with conventional weight loss methods, so they need to use diet pills and surgical methods. Of course, surgery is safer than diet pills. So what should I pay attention to before liposuction? What sequela may there be after liposuction?

1, matters needing attention in liposuction

All drugs unrelated to surgery should be stopped 2 weeks before liposuction, especially aspirin, oral contraceptives, P receptor blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, diet pills, cimetidine and Chinese herbal medicines, so as not to affect the coagulation mechanism and metabolism of anesthetics, leading to bleeding and local anesthetic poisoning. You should inform your doctor before taking the medicine. If you are sick, you are not allowed to stop using the above drugs. You should postpone the operation time until your condition improves, and you can stop using therapeutic drugs. Reluctant surgery may lead to serious complications and even death.

Preoperative: Routine examination is essential.

After you decide to have liposuction surgery, the doctor will give you a physical examination and test to determine whether you can have surgery. Then, reconfirm the position and amount of aspiration, the method of aspiration and the anesthesia method adopted.

Antibiotics and sedative and analgesic drugs should be determined according to the suction method and anesthesia method adopted. Choose appropriate elastic clothing before operation, which has moderate elasticity and can be worn for a long time.

Postoperative: Wear elastic clothes for at least 3 months.

After liposuction, local gauze and cotton pad should be covered, and then pressure bandage should be applied. Gauze and cotton pad should be flat and have moderate pressure, which can stop bleeding, reduce edema and fix skin. Covered with tight elastic clothing, the dressing was removed 48 hours after operation and replaced with elastic clothing with moderate elasticity, which was worn for 3 months or more.

Postoperative: Possible "terror" condition

1, induration —— Complications such as congestion, edema, skin numbness and subcutaneous induration will occur after liposuction, which usually subside in 1~2 weeks.

2, the skin becomes super sensitive-the sensory function of the skin is abnormal after liposuction, and it is not easy to detect the thermal damage of the skin. After operation, physical therapy that produces heat should be used with caution.

3, the effect is not good-those who are not satisfied with the postoperative effect can be reoperated for correction 6 months to 1 year after surgery.

4. oozing-due to the residual swelling fluid under the skin, there may be more oozing on the day of operation. If the dressing is wet, sterile gauze or clean sanitary towel can be used outside the dressing. Don't open the dressing yourself, so as not to pollute the wound.

2. The most suitable exercise for weight bearing

1, walk

Generally speaking, running is not recommended for heavy exercise. You can start by walking, because the walking intensity is moderate and the joint pressure is small. As long as you persist, the effect of losing weight is not bad, and the effect of lowering blood pressure and preventing heart disease is also good.

Take a walk 2-3 times a week at first, and then gradually increase it to 4-5 times a week for more than 30 minutes each time after the body adapts.

Step 2 swim

Swimming is also a very suitable exercise to lose weight. Swimming for an hour can consume 400-700 calories. Because of the buoyancy of water, you only need to bear the dead weight pressure of 10%, and the resistance of water is 12 times that of air.

If you can't swim, you can try jogging in the water-yes, running in the water will feel different resistance, but the pressure is less.

Step 3 cycle/rotate

Whether riding outdoors or spinning, it is very suitable for heavy sports. Because sitting on a stool can help you bear most of the weight, thus reducing the pressure on your knees. And if you are going to the gym to practice spinning, it is not recommended that you follow the coach, because in order to make the coach's course more difficult, there are often various actions of standing and pedaling.

You just need to choose the speed that suits you best according to your physical condition, and then slowly speed up after your body adapts.

4. Cushion/sitting exercise (mostly strength exercise)

For example, Pilates, dumb-bell exercises and so on. The principle is to avoid doing things that require standing and jumping. Strength training is very important, so I suggest you go to the gym to find a reliable coach to practice-pay attention to the reliable coach mentioned by Nine Girls here. Some coaches are actually not so professional, such as the girl at the beginning of this article. She practices Pilates with great weight, and the coach also asks her to practice all kinds of movements that need one leg support, which is obviously not reliable.

Arrangement of exercise time and frequency

The goal of losing weight must be down-to-earth, and losing 5- 10% weight within 3 months is an ideal speed. If you want to lose dozens of pounds at once and exercise for more than an hour every day from scratch, the most likely consequence is that your body that never exercises will produce resistance (muscle aches, fatigue and breathlessness), and you will find an excuse to stop exercising in a few days.

Therefore, it is important to exercise step by step. At first, you can exercise for 30 minutes every day (note that a single exercise should not be less than 10 minutes), and you can accumulate 150 minutes every week. After the body adapts, it gradually increases to 300 minutes of exercise every week, that is, 60 minutes of exercise every day, five days a week.

For some people, in order to ensure the weight loss effect, if the body adapts, it can be increased to 90 minutes of exercise every day. It is recommended not to exceed this length. Exercise for more than 90 minutes every day is likely to cause "hunger" and lead to muscle loss.

Finally, it must be remembered that exercise to lose weight must be combined with diet control to be efficient.
