There are many opinions about post liposuction care from various sources. At Artistic Liposculpting Center, Dr. Su has performed over 6000 procedures and counting. We have tried and true methods for faster healing, the smoothest liposuction results possible and resuming regular activity in a couple of days.
Here are a few quick tips:
- Drink normal amounts of fluids, but be sure you are staying hydrated.
- Keep the incision areas clean and dry
- Go for walks and keep moving. More movement gets your circulation moving and helps with healing.
- Stay away from salty foods. Salt causes your body to retain fluids, which could cause more swelling.
- Take antibiotics as directed.
- Do not take aspirin or Ibuprofen, bufferin, anacin, advil or nuprin. These can cause bleeding
