One of the best benefits of liposuction is discovering that clothing fits better. Depending on the treated area(s), you can emphasize different features after liposuction. Jeans will flatter your taut backside after buttock liposuction, and shirts will hug your toned arms after arm liposuction.
Here, Dr. David Sayah shares some tips for dressing your new and improved post-lipo body.
ARMS
After liposuction of the arms, you will be more inclined to show off your toned arm contour in short-sleeved or sleeveless tops. Your improved arm shape will look better in tight, long-sleeved shirts and sweaters. Also, your arms will look great in sleeveless or strapless dresses.
If you find yourself shopping for new blouses or dresses after arm liposuction, look for pieces with an interesting neckline, like V-neck, sweetheart or cowl styles. If your style is trendier, asymmetrical necklines are very attractive.
STOMACH
After trunk liposuction, you can show off your tighter and more toned stomach/waist with a variety of styles! As mentioned, it will be easier and more comfortable to wear jeans and tight pants without a muffin top or love handles. Pencil skirts and wrap dresses are the perfect pieces to emphasize your slim waist.
When shopping for new jeans and pants, look for mid- to high-rise styles for ultimate comfort. Ankle-length or “toothpick”-style jeans are currently very popular and great at elongating the legs.
LEGS
After liposuction of the legs (it is primarily performed on the upper thighs and sometimes the knees), you’ll want to take full advantage of your results by wearing shorts and skirts.
Shorts are more versatile than you might think. You can wear a pair of cut-off jean shorts during the day, and change into a dressy black pair for nighttime (paired with a colorful top and platform wedges). Or, try a pair of lace or brocade shorts paired with a simple, solid-colored blouse. If you can’t decide between shorts or a skirt, the skort (a short/skirt hybrid) is also making a comeback.
BUTTOCKS AND HIPS
Dress your lower half to impress! Experiment with different styles of pants, skirts and dresses to find the right fit for your body type. Ankle-length skinny slacks are supremely flattering to a well-sculpted backside. Fitted midi dresses (longer than a mini, shorter than a maxi) also follow the curve of toned buttocks and hips beautifully, creating an S-shape from the side.
