What to do after Vaser Liposuction surgery?

2. Wear compression sleeves.

 They may not be the most attractive or comfortable things to wear, but compression sleeves are an integral part of your recovery after Vaser liposuction and important to your final results.

Compression garments help to:

• Compress the skin of treated areas to reduce the risk of postoperative sagging.
• Prevent postoperative swelling and seroma formation (subcutaneous serum collections).
• Improve body remodeling.
• Reduce swelling, increase blood circulation and stimulate lymphatic drainage.

The compression garment should be worn 24 hours a day for the first 3 weeks and then 12 hours a day for another 3 weeks.

You will only be able to remove the sheath for showering or bathing or washing.

3. Don't miss appointments

 
To enhance the healing process, speed up recovery time, and improve the overall results of liposuction, it is critical not to miss scheduled appointments for postoperative checkups and lymphatic massage.

Post-operative checks and dressings are important; although they are very small (4-5 mm), the incisions made to introduce the cannula should be disinfected, and it is also important to assess the overall clinical condition. It takes about two weeks on average for these small incisions to heal.

Lymphatic drainage helps to eliminate any excess serum that has accumulated under the skin. It also stimulates lymphatic drainage, reducing swelling. All this reduces recovery time and promotes a faster return to daily life.

4. Don't be afraid to contact your doctor with doubts or clarifications

SIf you have any doubts about the treatment, the directions given, or what to do or not to do, do not hesitate to contact your surgeon or his or her assistants. Your doctor will be happy to answer your questions and thus remove any doubts.
