What post procedures should I follow after liposuction surgery?

Steve Fallek (Plastic Surgeon & Medical Director, Face Focus Medical Spa, New York City) gives expert video advice on: What should I expect after liposuction surgery?; Will I have to take time off from work after having liposuction?; Can I get other plastic surgery procedures at the same time I receive liposuction? and more...

When you go to see your doctor after liposuction, most likely all he'll do the first one or two office visits is to take a look at your liposuction incision sites and your dressings. He'll most likely remove them and then put you in a liposuction garment. What's going to happen is when that fat is removed during liposuction there is some fluid and some holes within the soft tissue and those areas need to be compressed. That means you're going to need to wear your garment after liposuction. That doesn't mean wear your garment for a day after liposuction, it means wear your garment all the time for about a month anywhere up to two or three months. Patients don't necessarily like that, but it's really important to wear the garment after liposuction for you to get the best result.
