Tips for Safely Resuming Exercise Dr. Keep the following tips in mind as you begin resuming exercise: Aerobics — Aerobic exercise is an important component to a fitness regimen, and it will help you maintain a stable, healthy weight. You should wait approximately 4 weeks before resuming high-impact aerobic activities such as running. When you resume these activities, start off slowly and build up to a full workout as your body feels ready. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine examined the effect of large-volume abdominal liposuction in fifteen women with abdominal obesity.
It found that the subcutaneous adipose tissue was reduced by 44 percent in those with normal glucose tolerance and 28 percent in those with diabetes.
This is a significant loss in excess fat cells which are permanently removed from the body. The potential negative of liposuction is that through permanently removing the subcutaneous fat, the body may compensate by replacing it with visceral fat deep inside the abdominal cavity. This fat protects the organs such as the kidneys, intestines, liver and stomach. However, a few studies have found that these metabolic changes within the body are heavily dependent on the lifestyle choices of the recipient.
That is to say, that not all people undergoing liposuction will regain weight if they maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly. While liposuction decreases the adipose tissue mass according to researcher Samuel Klein, MD, it does not significantly improve obesity-associated metabolic abnormalities. These findings have further highlighted that while liposuction removes excess fat, it is not a weight loss cosmetic surgery treatment.
Those considering liposuction need to keep in mind it is a contouring procedure that can tone, tightened and contour the body and is not the answer to weight problems. A study by the University of Sao Paulo published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism concluded that the visceral fat increase can be effectively counteracted by regular physical activity.
During the stud, thirty-six healthy females underwent liposuction where a small-volume of fat was removed from the abdomen. Half of the women were randomly assigned to commence an exercise program two months after the cosmetic surgery. This regime combined cardio and weight-lifting workouts three times a week for a period of four months. The other half of the women remained sedentary after the liposuction surgery.
It was also found, that when comparing diets, these women consumed fewer calories per day than those who were regularly exercising. Not only that, these women ended up with less fat in their bodies overall, showed signs of improved insulin sensitivity and gained physical fitness. Exactly why this compensation with the body occurs is unclear and little research has been carried out to date. The authors of the Brazilian study theorised that the visceral fat gain may be due to recipients expending less energy post-surgery.
Start slow by running for a few minutes and see what your body can handle. Work your way up to it, otherwise you could become seriously injured. A week after your liposuction procedure you can start resistance training.
As with any exercise following surgery, take it slow. Try five reps and take a break. Although liposuction is perfect for removing fat cells, it is not a weight loss solution. You can still gain weight in the years following liposuction if you are not careful. You should also eat a balanced diet and avoid fatty, sugary, processed foods. Without a proper exercise routine and healthy diet, people who have undergone liposuction cannot maintain long-term results.
