There is nothing as effective as surgery to remove unwanted fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. Unfortunately, it can’t stop there. What makes the outcome ‘successful’ longterm is when a patient continues to maintain proper nutrition, daily exercise and adequate sleep. Maintaining one’s diet and workout routine along with surgery will definitely contribute to long-lasting results that all patients (and doctors) want!

What I do is work with my patients pre-surgically and post-surgically to try and identify healthy lifestyles that will help maintain their liposuction results.

These patterns could be

2. Not exercising daily
3. Not getting adequate sleep

This educational process is rewarding to me because I believe in helping my patients better understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
