Precautions After Liposuction
- Pain levels vary by individual immediately after surgery. You may eat normally right away, so please take the prescribed medication for about 7 days after meals. If you feel discomfort, porridge is fine, but regular meals are recommended.
- After returning home, a blood-tinged fat-dissolving solution may drain from the wound site for up to 3 days. The more it drains, the faster swelling may subside. If it does not drain, it is absorbed naturally during recovery.
- Swelling and bruising move downward as they heal, sometimes reaching the feet and ankles. If your legs feel very numb or heavy, elevate your feet above heart level or try a warm foot soak.
- If a large amount of fat is removed, you may feel significant dizziness during recovery. Move slowly when active, and taking iron supplements can help improve recovery.
- For about 4 weeks, avoid alcohol, smoking, strenuous exercise, saunas, hot baths, and spas. Light activities such as walking are recommended.
- Wear a compression garment for 1 month (24 hours/day). After 1 month, wear it only during sleep. It may be removed briefly for circulation or washing, but if swelling increases, it may be difficult to put on again.
- It is recommended to shower 1–3 days after surgery. Before showering, apply a waterproof bandage to the suture area. Remove the bandage immediately after showering and keep the wound area dry.
- As bruising and swelling resolve, the surgical site may feel itchy. Avoid scratching, as the skin is still sensitive and may injure easily.
- A mild fever may occur, but if there is persistent heat, severe pain, or significant color changes in the surgical area, contact the clinic immediately for evaluation.
