So What Happens After a Liposuction?

After surgery. Your recovery. A New You.

You will experience some fluid drainage from the incisions made by your plastic surgeon. In some cases, your plastic surgeon may insert a small drainage tube, to prevent fluid build up. To prevent swelling, it may be recommended for some type of surgical elastic garment.

Before you leave, you plastic surgeon will give you instructions on exactly what you can and can not do. To answer a couple common questions, your plastic surgeon will direct you on how to change your dressings, how to shower, and how to be most comfortable. Your stitches will be removed, or dissolve, usually within 10 days. You should be back to work within a couple days, but still with minor pain and discomfort.

Although the road to recovery may differ amongst different people, as long as you follow your doctor's orders you should soon see the new you as you recover. Don't be deterred by the scarring and swelling, like a caterpillar in it's ugly cocoon, it will rise to be a beautiful butterfly.
