Fat Burners post Liposuction?

There is some evidence on the use of stimulants and diuretics post liposuction to decrease swelling and improve outcomes.  I have all my patients on this type of regimen and back to the gym in 7-10 days.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I'm not certain I know what "fat burners" diet is. I doubt it will be problematic to resume it. Nevertheless check this out with your own surgeon.

I am not a fan of supplements that are not regulated by the FDA.  I have no idea what is in these products, and would probably recommend not using them in or around your surgical date.

Many patients take fat burners or metabolic stimulators before liposuction trying to lose weight. These should always be stopped about a week before surgery. You should allow yourself at least a few weeks to a month After surgery before restarting them. In general it is best to continue to try to diet and exercise without these medications. They can often be bad for your overall system causing increased heart rate and occasionally arrhythmias. I would certainly check with your surgeon before starting any medication again after surgery that you had been told to stop.

I'm afraid there is really no such thing as a fat burner.Still, if you tolerated this product before the procedure, I see no reason why you can't use it after.Always check with your surgeon to see what he or she thinks.Perhaps you can find this short article I wrote to be of some benefit (see link).Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
