Don't overeat after laser lipolysis surgery, beware of belly fat

People with excessive body fat and out-of-shape body want to lose weight but are worried about the possible side effects of surgical weight loss surgery. So after comparison, some people choose laser lipolysis surgery which does not involve surgery and causes no wounds. Compared with traditional liposuction surgery, laser lipolysis surgery has lower risks and is less invasive. It will not leave obvious scars or unevenness. In recent years, it has become one of the popular choices for body sculpting.

Ye Siwei, a dermatologist at the Shuanghe Hospital, said that the principle of laser lipolysis is to use 980 nm or 1064 nm laser wavelength energy to penetrate deep into the subcutaneous tissue to release heat energy and quickly emulsify the fat. Not only is it easy to remove, but it can also be removed very smoothly. The thermal effect can stop bleeding, stimulate collagen regeneration, make the skin firmer, improve surgical results and speed up recovery. It not only reduces the number of fat cells, but also improves the problem of local fat accumulation.

Laser lipolysis is suitable for local sculpting including the lower abdomen, chin, hands and buttocks where there is local fat accumulation. If the area is large, such as the thigh, a mixed treatment approach is recommended, which involves using laser lipolysis to dissolve the fat first, then using traditional liposuction with a large diameter tube, and finally using a laser beam to achieve a smoothing effect.

However, some people misunderstand that laser lipolysis is for weight loss and body shaping, but the correct term is "body sculpting". The amount of fat in adults is fixed. The role of laser lipolysis is to reduce the amount of fat. After the operation, you must also maintain your figure with proper diet and exercise, as well as regular living habits to help metabolism. You must not overeat, otherwise the volume of fat may slowly increase, causing weight gain again. Basically, the fat removed by laser lipolysis will not return, but to prevent the remaining fat from growing larger after the operation, you must pay attention to weight control, avoid consuming too many calories including sugar and starch, and change the habit of overeating in order to maintain a perfect body shape.
