What Should Patients Avoid After BeautiFill® Treatment?

Recently, laser liposuction and fat transfer procedures have revolutionized the aesthetic industry. BeautiFill is an especially popular way to remove excess fat and contour the body for a more youthful appearance. This treatment can reshape your figure, provide new curves, and even flatten areas like the stomach that are hard to treat through diet and exercise alone.

Men and women alike choose BeautiFill when they want to look better in form-fitting clothes or feel happier with their appearance. Of course, patients should follow all post-treatment guidelines given by Dr. Katayoun Motlagh to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Below, our experienced team at Kat Motlagh's Health Clinics outlines what people should avoid if they undergo BeautiFill treatment in Palmdale, CA. Our goal is to help you achieve amazing results through state-of-the-art laser technology and outstanding patient care.

Avoid strenuous or high-impact activities

BeautiFill involves removing excess fat from the abdomen, hips, flanks, or thighs and using it to enhance the breasts, buttocks, or face. Because treatment involves two different sites, patients feel sore and tender in more than one area. It's important to avoid intense movements and exercises during BeautiFill recovery to not disrupt natural healing.

Here are some examples of activities to avoid during the first few weeks after laser liposuction and fat transfer surgery:

• Running or jogging
• Aerobic exercises
• Heavy lifting
• Contact sports such as football and hockey
• Excessive stretching or yoga

Avoid pools and hot tubs

Try to avoid pools and hot tubs for up to two weeks following your procedure. Swimming pools contain harsh chemicals and harmful bacteria that could cause serious complications like infection after surgery. Hot tubs are also not recommended, as the extreme temperatures exacerbate any swelling you may experience post-treatment. If you're unsure when it's safe to return to swimming, consult with Dr. Motlagh during a follow-up appointment in Palmdale, CA.

If you experience signs of infection, such as excessive redness and warmth around the treatment site, contact us right away, and we'll be happy to help. Read our online reviews to learn more about the superior patient care we provide.

Avoid tanning salons

Ultraviolet rays from tanning beds can have a negative effect on healing. Because UV exposure increases your risk of skin discoloration and scarring, Dr. Motlagh suggests avoiding direct sun exposure and wearing sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher if you must spend time outdoors and during BeautiFill recovery. Hats and protective clothing can also protect your skin.
