WHAT TO EAT AFTER SURGERY

After surgery, it is recommended to eat soft and easily digestible foods for at least 72 hours. Some examples include apple sauce, chicken broth, scrambled eggs, and yogurt.

As your appetite improves, you can incorporate foods high in monounsaturated fats such as avocado, extra-virgin olive oil, and almond butter, as they have anti-inflammatory effects. Fruits like blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and cherries are also beneficial due to their anti-inflammatory properties and high antioxidant content.

It is important to maintain your protein intake to aid in healing, so make sure to include protein-rich foods in your diet. And don't forget to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. In terms of things to avoid after surgery, it is recommended to stay away from salt, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, and refined carbohydrates for at least a month. These substances can potentially interfere with the healing process. Some other examples of easily digestible foods that can be consumed after surgery include:

• Mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes
• Steamed or boiled vegetables, such as carrots or green beans
• Cooked grains like rice or quinoa
• Soft fruits like bananas or applesauce
• Smoothies or protein shakes
• Bland, cooked meats like chicken or fish
• Soups or broths
• Cottage cheese or Greek yogurt

Remember to listen to your body and gradually reintroduce solid foods as your appetite and digestion improve. It's also important to consult with your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian for personalized recommendations based on your specific surgery and dietary needs.

ULTRASONIC CAVITATION AFTER LIPOSUCTION


At Body by MF Aesthetics by MF Aesthetics, we understand that liposuction surgery can have varying results for each individual. That's why we offer a customized plan to address any concerns you may have after the procedure. It's not uncommon to notice small bulges of fat or unevenness in your skin following surgery. Additionally, some may experience differences in symmetry or loose skin. To help you achieve your desired aesthetic goals, we recommend ultrasonic cavitation after liposuction. This highly effective procedure is designed to target and reduce the remaining fat bulges and pockets, resulting in a smoother and more sculpted appearance. Unlike surgical options, ultrasonic cavitation is non-invasive and non-surgical, making it a convenient and safe choice for post-liposuction enhancements. For optimal results, most physicians suggest combining ultrasound cavitation with lymphatic drainage. This combination helps optimize the outcome of your treatment by further enhancing the reduction of fat and promoting healthy lymphatic flow.

PRE-CARE: 
1. Reduces circumference in the treated areas: Ultrasonic cavitation targets and breaks down stubborn fat cells, resulting in a reduction in circumference and a slimmer appearance in the treated areas.

2. Body contouring: By specifically targeting fat deposits in problem areas, ultrasonic cavitation helps to contour and shape your body to achieve a more sculpted look.

3. Blasts visceral fat: Visceral fat is the fat that surrounds your internal organs and can contribute to health issues. Ultrasonic cavitation can help to effectively reduce visceral fat, leading to improved overall health.

4. Contour symmetry post-surgery: Liposuction surgery can sometimes result in unevenness or asymmetry in the skin. Ultrasonic cavitation can help to smooth out any irregularities and enhance the symmetry of your body contours.

5. Reduces lumpiness and fat deposits post-lipo: After liposuction surgery, some individuals may experience small bulges or lumps of fat in the treated areas. Ultrasonic cavitation can target these remaining fat deposits and help to eliminate them, resulting in a smoother appearance.


•It's important to note that individual results may vary, and it's always best to consult with a medical professional to determine if ultrasonic cavitation is suitable for your specific situation.

• It is recommended to avoid consuming alcoholic beverages 48 hours before and after the treatment. Alcohol can dehydrate the body, and it's important to stay hydrated throughout the process.

• Additionally, try not to eat for at least 2 hours before the treatment.
This will help ensure optimal conditions for the procedure. Remember to consult with your healthcare professional or the specific guidelines provided by the treatment provider for personalized advice.

POST-CARE: 
Please follow these instructions after your treatment: 

• It is important to drink plenty of water for the next 72 hours after your treatment. We recommend consuming 1/2 of your body weight in ounces every day for three days. For example, if you weigh 150 lbs, you should drink 75 oz of water. If you weigh 200 lbs, you should drink 100 oz.

• Remember to wear your faja (Compression Garment) as instructed by your physician.

• Avoid eating for at least 2 hours after the treatment to allow your body to adjust and optimize the results.

• If your physician has given you clearance for exercise, engage in a minimum of 30 minutes of cardio after the treatment.

• Consume foods that aid in flushing toxins from your body.

• It is highly recommended to do an Infrared sauna treatment following ultrasonic cavitation as it can maximize your results.

• If you experience any tenderness or redness after the treatment, gently ice the area for up to 15 minutes.

• For optimal post-surgical results, continue with your Lymphatic Drainage sessions as recommended.

FAQ:
Q. HOW OFTEN IS IT RECOMMENDED THAT I DO ULTRASONIC CAVITATION AFTER LIPOSUCTION?
A. Frequency depends on your goals. For optimal results, we recommend sessions 1-2 times per week. Be sure to allow 2 days in between treatments so your body can detox and eliminate the fats and toxins released during the treatment. We highly recommend that you follow up each one of your sessions with the Infrared Sauna to help you eliminate the toxins, anesthesia, and fat that are released by Ultrasonic Cavitation.

Q. HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED BEFORE I SEE RESULTS?
A. The number of sessions depends on your goals. To support your body sculpting goals, it is necessary to complement your routine with a healthy diet, exercise, and detox program.

Q. HOW SOON AFTER LIPOSUCTION CAN I DO ULTRASONIC CAVITATION?
A. We have had physicians recommend different time frames for incorporating Ultrasonic Cavitation. If you have had your liposuction in Miami, Mexico, or another country and stayed in a recovery home your probably started a series of cavitation soon after surgery. To allow the lymphatic system to properly heal after surgery we recommend you wait a few weeks. We take any requests to incorporate Cavitation into your recovery program on a case-by-case basis.

Q. WHAT OTHER THERAPIES WILL IMPROVE OPTIMAL SURGICAL RESULTS?
A. Once fat is removed through liposuction, chances are you will have some laxity to your skin. This is where Radio Frequency plays a major role in tightening the skin.
