Liposuction & Tummy Tuck Surgery
If you're considering liposuction surgery in the Bay Area...
Post Liposculpture Recuperation
After the liposuction surgery, compression garments may be used to accelerate the healing process when large amounts are suctioned from one area during the liposuculpting surgery. These help the skin conform to the new body contours. In some cases, secondary procedures such as Abdominoplasty or Body Contouring After Massive Weight Loss may reduce excess skin. Otherwise, elastic bandages help control swelling and compress the skin to your body’s new contours. Rarely, Dr. Mosser will place a small temporary drain near the incision to help remove excess fluid.
Right after liposuction surgery, you will probably experience some of the following temporary discomforts:
- swelling
- soreness
- bruising
- general pain
These are perfectly normal. Dr. Mosser will provide detailed instructions about how to care for the surgical site with topical medications and how to use compression garments. The initial healing from liposuction will take five to ten days, during which time sutures will be removed, if necessary. Swelling will take longer to dissipate: up to several months after your liposuction procedure for it to completely resolve, and incision lines will shrink over time.
Results—the Amazing New You
As swelling recedes from your liposuction surgery, you will begin to see the new contours of your body. You will feel the confidence and pride that are natural upshot of liposuction. As long as you maintain your weight with a healthy diet and plenty of exercise, your new contours will be permanent.
