All types of food and drinks that may increase the dehydration in the body should be avoided during the recovery. The first two weeks, when the body recovers fastly is so important and alcohol and smoking not only increase the dehydration but also dangerous to the people’s overall health condition.
Irregular eating habit is the main reason why most of the people have to consider liposuction procedures.
