Recovery process for Liposuction + Tips to help you heal FAST

Recovery process for liposuction is very different from other surgeries.

Unlike other surgeries, liposuction results are dependent on your maintenance routine after surgery.

 

 

This healing process timeline will help you plan for your surgery, and have a better understanding of what you need to do to have the best results.

Recovery time differs per individual so keep that in mind when planning your surgery in Korea.

 

Recovery process for Liposuction: Before Surgery

 

 

 

You should avoid alcohol and smoking for 1-2 weeks before surgery and 1-3 months after.

Avoid taking blood thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen etc. for 1-2 weeks before surgery.

Liposuction is done under general anesthesia at ID Hospital. You have to fast for 8 hours before surgery.

 

Recovery process for Liposuction: After Surgery

 

Patients get discharged about 3-4 hours after the surgery. You can then go to your accommodation and rest.

Major swelling differs for each individual but it will take 2 to 3 weeks to reduce.

 

Recovery process for Liposuction: 1-3 Days Post-surgery

You will experience discomfort and pain for a few days after surgery. These will gradually decrease with time.

Do not sleep sideways or facing downwards, sleep on your back and keep your head level above your heart level.

 

 

You have to wear the compression suit for 24/7 for the first month after surgery.

Since the stitches are removed 7 days after surgery, you have to make sure to keep the incision area dry. You will also have to disinfect your incision area during the first week.

 

 

Your muscles or fat (in the surgical area) may harden for 2-3 weeks. It will gradually soften up.

You can slowly walk to help increase your body circulation, however, do not do any activities that will raise your heart rate.

 

 

Reduce your intake of salt, sugar and junk food. Increase your protein intake.

 

Recovery process for Liposuction: 1 Week later

 

 

On the 7th day, the stitches are removed. You will have a swelling care session if you had surgery at ID Hospital.

You cannot go to the sauna/steam room for 4 weeks

Avoid smoking and alcohol for 1-3 months after surgery.

 

Recovery process for Liposuction: 1-12 Months later

 

After 1 month, you wear the compression suit for a few hours daily. You have to do this for 2 more months until all the swelling has completely subsided.

 

 

You can start light exercises after one month and then move up to more intensive workouts once the swelling reduces.

 

Recovery process for Liposuction: Tips to help you maintain your surgery results

 

Even though the scars are barely visible, some people might not want to have any. You can start using a scar treatment cream one month after surgery to help the scar fade.

 


Make sure you wear the compression suit as instructed. Failure to do so will result in unevenness or bumpiness, so wear the garment according to the doctor’s recommendation.

Stay hydrated. Drink lots of water as this will help you heal faster.

 

 

You have to take your post-surgery diet very seriously. After liposuction, you cannot go back to your “bad habits” of eating junk food, or unhealthy food. You have to eat healthy, nutritious food and avoid excess sugar and salt. Have smaller meals during the day and space them out so you do not feel sick.

Liposuction removes fat cells but the remaining fat cells can still grow bigger, thereby making you gain weight. It is crucial to follow a proper diet and fitness regime to ensure your surgery results will last.
