Liposuction (Lipoplasty) Part. 3

Recovery from Liposuction Surgery

It is important to realize that the amount of time it takes for recovery varies greatly among individuals.
The first few days after surgery, you should rest quietly. If you can elevate the body part, it is usually suggested that you do so. Remember, you must not take aspirin or certain anti-inflammatory medications. You most likely will wear a garment. If it is too tight you should promptly notify your surgeon.

During the first 48 hours following surgery, patients experience varying degrees of swelling and bruising. The swelling persists longer. Bruising typically disappears within seven to ten days. Stitches are usually removed within a week of surgery.

Straining, bending over and lifting should be avoided during the early postoperative period. In many instances, you will be able to resume most of your normal activities within ten days or less.

How much will liposuction cost?

Cost is always a consideration in elective surgery. Prices for liposuction vary widely, and are often dependent on the surgeon’s experience and the geographical location.

The fees are often broken down into several components:

• Surgeon’s professional fee
• Facility fee
• Anesthesia fee
• Medications
• Surgical garments
• Medical tests

Maintaining a Relationship with Your Plastic Surgeon after Liposuction

You will return to your plastic surgeon's office for follow-up care at prescribed intervals, at which time your progress will be evaluated as a result of your liposuction surgery.
Please remember that the relationship with your plastic surgeon does not end when you leave the operating room. If you have questions or concerns during your recovery from liposuction surgery, or need additional information at a later time, you should contact your plastic surgeon.
