Should I diet after a lipotransfer to maintain the results?

The answer is Yes. After a lipotransfer you must follow a Hypercaloric (high-calorie) diet.

Maintaining results after lipotransfer largely depends on diet. Therefore, it is important to follow a proper diet.

But what is this due to after a lipotransfer?

When liposuction or liposculpture is performed, trauma is created in the body when the adipocytes are removed through the cannula.

Approximately two to three months after surgery, the body is in a process called a hypermetabolic state, meaning it uses up extra calories and proteins for tissue repair.

If the body is deprived of these, it will use fat reserves to oxidize them and convert them into energy.

To preserve the highest percentage of fat transferred after liposuction, you have to calculate the calories that the patient occupies and add the extra percentage that their body will use to heal. (Without increasing from other areas of the body)

The calculations are exact according to their weight and height, since these data show us the number of calories they occupy, and subsequently a percentage is increased for tissue repair.

The macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates and fats) are then divided into appropriate percentages to cover requirements after surgery.

These calculations are made by the nutritionist.
