For many of my patients is a little difficult to get used to maintain new eating habits so sometimes little by little becomes accumulate fat in the belly, one of the most complex areas to burn the fat. Do exercise every day without a care in consumed on a daily basis, it can be exhausting and little helpful. Since some foods lead to fat directly to the belly and hips contributing to sagging in these areas of the body. Some of those foods that cause belly fat storage are:

1. sugar: they have a high content of calories that are stored in body fat deposits. They may be harmful to the immune system and are the first that promote weight gain and the accumulation of fat in the belly.

2. White processed foods: white flour, rice and gluten, refined to have more attractive appearance have very few nutrients. These foods contain a high percentage of empty calories that can not be easily processed by the body.

3. red meats and sausages: one of the reasons why you should avoid to eat this type of food is that the body can not simultaneously processed meat and fat; in this way the body can not to burn fast enough, resulting in those chubby waist. It is recommended to consume meat light like chicken, fish and lean meat.

4. alcoholic beverages: alcohol has high amount of calories by excessive sugar content. Beverages like wine, rum, brandy and most cocktails are one of the keys in the emergence of abdominal fat. These beverages contribute to the deterioration of muscle tissue, giving way to fat gain, especially in that area of the body.

The care you have after having your surgery depends largely on maintaining the long-term results , recalls the plastic surgery is not magical and once you done it  you should be aware that in order to maintain the results of your surgery ,is really important to change your eating habits and exercise at least 45 minutes a day. Although it might be convenient for me as a surgeon have multiple times to a patient in the operating room, honestly i dont  recommend it, every surgery has risks and results after the first liposculpture can be quite different from those of a second, theres why you  should be careful and not abuse of surgeries. 

There are times during the year in which people are not wise with their food which leads to not keep control even more balanced after surgical procedure body. To remove the accumulated fat and return to healthy habits I leave some foods that you can include in your daily diet:

1. oatmeal and whole grain foods: are foods made with grains whole grains such as whole wheat, oats, barley and brown rice bread. Eating this kind of food you get necessary quantities of fiber that contribute to the loss of abdominal fat.

2. salmon: this fish especially contains acids like omega-3, substances necessary to eliminate cholesterol and reduce fat in the body.

3. nuts and dried fruits: nuts, almonds and cholesterol, fiber, protein and omega-3-rich foods will help satisfy hunger, always and when it is not consumed in excess.

4. milk low fat: milk is a great source of calcium, a mineral that not only keeps your bones strong but it can help you lose weight.

5. Green tea: contains antioxidants that help to eliminate localized fat. This healthy beverage can help your metabolism to work better and to increase the speed with which the liver burn fat. Eat properly and include exercise in your daily activities, only in this way can optimize the results so you've been waiting for.

Before undergoing a liposuction must prepare your body for at least one or two months prior surgery, through proper nutrition. To prepare the body to deal with stress caused by the surgery increases the need to consume certain vitamins and minerals that will help to avoid the involvement of the immune system, the appearance of fatigue and delays in healing processes.

Some recommendations that will help you in this process are:

1. Drink low fat milk or almond milk at least a cup a day.

2 consume grains and legumes.

3. consume other vitamins: vitamin A, folic acid, vitamin D, K and E.

4 eat meat: fish, poultry or beef, around ¼ pound a day.

5. consume minerals: calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorous among others.

Remember that health and beauty go hand in hand.

Some patients fail to see the danger that run their lives by putting them in the hands of malicious unscrupulous people capable of wearing a white coat and become calling doctors, pretending to be specialists to gain the confidence of their victims enthusing them with a new image, but at what price?

A syringe filled with oil for aircraft, industrial silicone, oil, cooking and even cement among other illegal substances, have been injected into people by lack of information or money, taking the ""best opportunity"" without knowing that his life depends on it.

Here I tell you some of the biopolymers that must not be apply never in your body:

1 Biogel or silicone: injectable filler that is nothing more than high viscosity mineral oil or silicon oil. Injection with this type of substances generates encapsulation of consequences such as alterations in the immune system, deformities, infections, inflammation, discharge of pus or matter, respiratory failure, and the silicone embolism pulmonary and even death.

2 POLYACRYLIC glass (PMMA): substance mainly composed of acrylic and gel. Some people use it to correct wrinkles, increase buttocks, lifting of cheekbones and calf augmentation. When this substance is injected, it penetrates the muscle tissues and crystallizes producing fibrosis. The affected tissue reacts naturally trying to expel such a substance in the body which causes the crystals to move to other areas.

3 Hialucorp: this substance despite its registry Invima in Colombia, is one of the many that although he says contain hyaluronic acid, consists largely of silica; to inject into the body can generate harmful health effects, such as severe infections leaving sequelae of life or destruction of tissues.

4 Dimethyl polysiloxane or silicone: known as expandable cells, is nothing more than dilute silicone that by becoming solid favors information granulomas or skin bumps. The consequences are extremely painful and almost irreparable.

I invite all of my patients  to be  informed and do not allow anyone to play around  with their health. Always check with certified experts taking all possible precautions.

I always tell my patients that the use of a girdle after having  a contouring procedure is crucial for successful results. The time of duration of  girdle depends largely on the progress of the recovery, but usually compression garments must be use around 3 months after surgery. Among the benefits offered by the use of the garment are: 1. helps reduce bruising and swelling since the girdle compression optimizes the blood circulation and reduces fluid retention. 2. the compression of the Strip in the surgical area minimizes the movement of tissues involved in the surgery, allows the incisions to remain protected and clean in the early stages of healing by reducing the risk of infection. 3. reduces the risk of irregularities on the surface of the skin such as ripples or bumps. 4. the use of the garment  in  the trat areas  as the abdomen exerts uniform pressure on the area to improve the adhesion of the skin and cure.
