Healthy Dietary Changes Complement Plastic Surgery

On the Huffington Post yesterday, a New York City plastic surgeon (Dr. Tornambe) wrote an intriguing piece about the role diet plays in improving the results of his aesthetic surgical procedures. Like the top plastic surgeons of We Know Beauty, the author recommends reaching an ideal weight before a cosmetic surgery, especially in the case of liposuction (which is for shaping, not a "weight loss tool" as he writes).

His diet is "essentially a modification of the Mediterranean diet," which is heavy on whole grains, vegetables, lean protein, healthy fats, and even provides for a nightly glass of wine. The board certified plastic surgeons here at We Know Beauty can't necessarily speak for this diet over another (nor should anyone embark on a huge dietary change without consulting a physician), but we do closely monitor every single one of our patients after surgery to guarantee that they transition healthily into their new bodies.

Dr. Tornambe also posits that his diet helps with the healing process by reducing the body's response to surgery, inflammation. Part of being the best plastic surgeons around means that the We Know Beauty doctors do everything we can to minimize post-surgical discomfort. Because of the experience of our surgeons, complications are all but eradicated. Then, we make careful recommendations for each of our patients that will ease their full recovery.
