Liposuction
What
can I Expect Before, During, and After Liposuction?
Before...
Before
you undergo liposuction, you should undergo a complete physical exam so that your
doctor can determine if you are an acceptable candidate for liposuction. It is
important for you to discuss any medical conditions that you have and to tell
your doctor about any medications that you are taking including any herbal or
other non-prescription ones. If your doctor decides that you can have liposuction,
discuss the procedure thoroughly with him or her before deciding if you want to
go through with the procedure. Just because a physician says that you may have
liposuction does not mean that you must decide to have liposuction. You may still
change your mind even after discussing the procedure with a physician.
Your
physician should be able to answer any questions that you have about liposuction
including questions about what to expect during and after liposuction and the
complications or problems that sometimes occur with liposuction. Some physicians
will provide written information about liposuction. You may also take information
from this website to your appointment to discuss with your physician.
You
may want to have someone drive you to your appointment for liposuction. You may
be tired or uncomfortable after liposuction and unable to drive yourself home.
Discuss this with your physician before the day of your procedure.
Your
physician may prescribe an antibiotic drug for you to take before and after the
surgery. This is to prevent infections.
