Compression Garments

Compression Garments are aadvised to help reduce swelling and also maintain compression on the liposuction area. They should be worn for most of the day (including while sleeping) for at least six weeks post-Surgery.

Sleeping Position:

Sleeping Position: Try and sleep in prone position that is on your tummy and not turn your back as the fat can be displaced at least for the first two weeks then you can try a 45 degree angle but make sure that you do not sleep exactly on the sides also because it might displace the fat.

Sitting Position:

Massage:

Massage those areas in which liposuction has been done according to what your plastic surgeon has suggested you. It can be the back region of the tummy region and the massage can be done properly and it helps in reducing the swelling.

Medicines:

Take medicines as prescribed by your consulting plastic surgeon. Generally According to Dr Anmol Chugh, “I prescribe five days course of antibiotics and pain killers. Most of my patients don’t need any painkillers, after a day or two slight discomfort is there that can be easily resolved”.

Note : Take prescribed medicines as advised by your plastic surgeon and follow medication instructions depending on what kind of surgery you underwent.

Hydration:

Drink more fluids than usual to help maintain healthy levels of electrolytes in your body. Maintain hydration that means have adequate amount of fluids so that poster you can bounce back to the work with good efficiency and faster.

Drainage :

Some fluid might be coming out through puncture holes that is completely normal for the first 24 hours. That color can be reddish and usually resolves in two three days and after that fluid drainage stops. You can use Simple gauze piece to cover that area so that your compression garment or other waste and all that doesn’t become bad.
