Posture: For approximately two weeks after surgery, maintain positions that avoid pulling or placing tension on the surgical area.
Bruising: Some bruising is expected immediately after liposuction and abdominoplasty. This usually resolves within two to three weeks, so you do not need to worry.
Drainage from the liposuction sites: On the day of surgery and through the following day, a small amount of blood-tinged fluid may leak from the incisions where fat was removed. This is the harmless fluid administered during surgery to reduce bleeding, so you do not need to worry.
Stitch removal: Your stitches will be removed approximately 10–14 days after surgery, following your surgeon’s assessment of your recovery.
Scars: Scars may initially feel firm and appear red, but they will gradually fade over time.
Alcohol and smoking: Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least one month after surgery, as they can delay wound healing and cause inflammation.
Medication: Avoid medications containing aspirin, as they may cause bleeding.
Care of the liposuction sites: About three weeks after surgery, the areas where fat was removed may become firm. From this point onward, applying warm compresses followed by massage to those areas may help.
Complications such as bleeding, infection, and inflammation may occur after surgery, and individual satisfaction with the results may vary. Please consult your doctor.
