Now that you have completed hard phase of operation, insertion and suction of fat, you must make sure that all this does not go in vain. According to stats, most of the cases of liposuction go wrong because of post liposuction negligence. Following is given a complete guide. This guide is specially designed to help the patients to take care of themselves after painful yet fulfilling process of liposuction. Go Home and Stay Safe: It is highly recommended by all of the reputed surgeons that you must not come alone on the day of the surgery. It is not because there is something weird going to take place with you. It is just a precaution. Patients are highly recommended not to drive home. What You Can Eat: Although the diet plan solely depends on the conditions of individual case, mostly you can start normal diet immediately, especially if you are on local anesthesia. However, depending on your condition, the doctor might ask you to wait for 24 hours. Other diet recommendations include: • Drinking plenty of water • No alcohol consumption 48 hours before and after surgery • No smoking 48 hours before and after surgery Physical Activity: Any type of physical activity including driving is restricted in first few hours of the surgery. Go home, and quietly lie in your bed. Enjoy healthy beverages and water. Driving is prohibited at least 18 hours. You cannot take or lift heavy weights for a few days; however this also depends on your level of tolerance. • Later on the day of surgery, you can go to a light walk. • On the second day, you can drive your car and can perform simpler tasks without any hassle. If you feel any pain or stretch, contact your surgeon. • Gradually start exercise. Start with milder workouts and gradually increase them. Start exercise from second day and gradually resume it. (HINT: start with 25% of your routine workout and gradually increase in 4 days. This too depends on your tolerance level.) • You can attend your desk job within 48 hours of the surgery. You might feel sour areas and pain. You will feel exhausted more quickly. Post Surgery Garments: To get ultimate cosmetics result, you must wear post surgery garments. These garments are tied on all of the operated parts of body. They are tightly wrapped around the part in order to compress and push the residues out of the body. Theee are specially designed garments along with binders, soaking pads and ultra soaking pads. • You will have to wear the garment 24 hours, except when you have to clean it or you have to take the bath. • You have to wear the garment even when you are sleeping. • You have to wear the garment until drainage has completely stopped. • The drainage might continue for several days. • Most of the patients wear garment along with binders and soaking pads for 3 to 6 days. • If the liposuction was performed on a large part of the body, the drainage will continue for weeks. • Some patients choose to wear the garment for more than the recommended time. Garments provide support and warmth. Apart from this, there is no particular advantage of wearing garments for more than the recommended period. Dizziness and Fainting: The patient might feel dizziness and fainting several times. The patient will feel dizziness at the second day when the garment is removed for the first time after surgery. This dizziness is usually due to sudden flow of blood after 24 hours of the surgery. The patient should lie down and wait until the feeling of dizziness passes away. The patient who feels dizziness at the sight of blood might faint after seeing blood stained pads. The patient might feel dizziness after sudden, quick and abrupt movements. For example, when you standup after urination. This dizziness is similar to that experienced by new mothers when they urinate for the first time after delivery. In most of the conditions, patient can get rid of dizziness by sitting down and moving slowly. You can also avoid dizziness by removing the padding slowly. First, remove outer pad of the garment then after 8 - 10 minutes remove inner garment. In this way, the flow of the blood will be regulated. Post Operation Drainage: You will experience drainage of blood tinged anesthetic solution. In first 24 - 48 hours, there is extreme drainage, bulky and super absorbent pads are used on draining areas. According to renowned surgeons, excessive drainage during first few days is very good for success of the process. The drainage will start decreasing with time. Once the drainage stops, only soaking pads are used with garments. Leaks: During first 24 - 48 hours, strong leakage is possible. Although super absorbent bulky pads are placed on the draining areas, the drainage is sometimes severe and it might pass through the pads. Put terry-cloth absorbing towels beneath you so that the furniture is not stained. If the leakage passes through the cloth, you can use plastic sheet between furniture and the terry.
