Post Operative Care For Liposuction

1. A compression garment must be worn for two to four weeks.
2. If patient had liposuction by local anesthesia, he/she may resume usual diet immediately.
3. Drink adequate amount of water at least 8- 10 glasses a day or fruit juices to prevent dehydration.
4. Bed rest is recommended for the first few hours after surgery.
5. If non-absorbable sutures are placed, the surgeon will remove sutures after 5 to 10 days.
6. Pain killers will be prescribed to control pain that may last as long as 2 weeks depending on the extent of procedure.
7. Keep incision clean. Take a shower once or twice daily. Wound dressings need to be changed often. After one to three days, small self-adhesive bandages are sufficient.
8. Do not apply ice-packs or a heating pad to skin overlying the areas treated by liposuction.
9. Do not apply hydrogen peroxide or plastic Band-Aids to incision sites. Liposuction incision sites heal faster and better without topical antibiotics.
10. Do not soak in a bath, Jacuzzi, swimming pool, or the ocean for at least 7 days after surgery in order to minimize the risk of infection.
11. Patient taking Aspirin and Ibuprofen for at least 3 days after surgery. NSAIDs promote increase the risk of bleeding by impairing platelet function and depress immune response to infection.
12. Drainage is placed for about 3-7 days depending upon the extent of surgery.
13. Patient must maintain a proper diet and exercise regimen because the remaining fat cells could still enlarge and form cellulite thus creating irregularities.
