What's the best way to gain muscle after having Lipo?

Question

Hi all -- I had lipo of the flanks and abdomen about seven months ago and I'm pleased with the results. Prior to this, I had a fairly substantial weight loss, and had some stubborn areas of fat that I wanted to get rid of. I'm muscular, but lean. I would now like to gain more muscle and fill my body out evenly, but I know the only way to do this is with a calorie surplus. Do I need to concerned about what will happen with my body in a calorie surplus having had lipo? Will I gain in weird spots?

at 3 weeks post surgery I have all my patients especially those doing hi def liposuction get with a personal trainer , nutritionist, and hormonal/antiaging physician to get the best outcome from the liposuction procedure.  You should start now, lots of weight training, cardio and core.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question and working out with weights, doing cardio and maintaining a healthy diet with protein supplements should allow you to gain muscle without gaining fatDr Corbin

The best way to gain muscle mass after having liposuction is the same way that you would do so before liposuction. Your body physiology has not changed. Exercise coupled with a high protein diet is the key to adding muscle mass. Watch your intake insofar as leaning towards protein and away from sugars. Good luck!
