Preparing for liposuction surgery involves several important steps to ensure a smooth procedure and optimal results. Here’s what you need to know.

Pre-Operative Consultation

• Medical History: Discuss your medical history, medications, and any allergies with your surgeon. This helps the surgeon assess any potential risks and plan your procedure accordingly.

• Goals and Expectations: Clearly communicate your goals and expectations for the surgery. Understanding what can realistically be achieved will help you set appropriate expectations.

Pre-Surgery Instructions

• Stop Smoking: If you smoke, quit at least a few weeks before surgery to promote better healing. Smoking can impair blood flow and delay the healing process.

• Avoid Certain Medications: Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements as advised by your surgeon. These can increase the risk of bleeding during and after surgery.

• Healthy Diet: Maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated in the weeks leading up to surgery. Proper nutrition supports the body’s healing process and overall health.

Day of Surgery

• Fasting: Follow your surgeon’s instructions on fasting before surgery. This typically involves not eating or drinking for a certain period before the procedure.

• Transportation: Arrange for someone to drive you to and from the surgery center. You will not be able to drive yourself due to the effects of anesthesia.
