Doctor’s answers

Question

Answer Header & Date

Answer Snippet

Is it recommendable/safe to workout before a Liposculpture?

Is it good to work out prior to liposculture
Apr 7, 2016

Yes, certainly. It is great to exercise and to be as healthy as possible prior to any surgery, and after it as well. Best of the lucks.

No Difference After Liposculpture

Seeing results after a lipo
Apr 7, 2016

You will not see a difference at only two weeks post op. If you had a well done liposculpture, you will start to see results at around 2 to 3 months post op. So patience for now is a great ally.

How long after the liposculpture surgery should I wait before the drains are removed?

Drains after lipo
Apr 7, 2016

The drains will depend on the plastic surgeon’s personal experience. So use them and some don’t. They are not a must.

Recovery Time for Liposculptrue/time Before Travel is Safe?

Recovery time for lipo prior to flying
Apr 7, 2016

The recovery time will very much depend on the amount of fat suctioned, and on the duration of the procedure. My patient’s safety are my very main concern. Therefore, when flying, I ALWAYS ask my patients to wear TED compression socks, drink lots of water, move your legs and feet constantly, walk around the plane, and wait at least 48 to 72 hours prior to having surgery. These safety precautions must always be used when flying, whether or not having surgery.

Are my goals unrealistic?

Are my goals unrealistic
Apr 7, 2016

The goals will depend on many factors. One of them is if your muscular and bone structures can allow that. Lipo is to remove those stubborn deposits you mention.You seem to be in great shape.

What Procedure Would Be Best After Pregnancy: Tummy Tuck or Liposculpture?

What procedure is best after pregnancy?
Apr 7, 2016

This will vary form person to person. The best is for you to have a consultation. A tummy tuck may get rid of most of the stretch marks. And if you have some fat lipo in your flanks, a little lipo may be of great help in achieving a much nicer figure.

Large burn-like mark after liposculpture?

large burn like mark after lipo
Apr 7, 2016

What you describe seems to be that you had lipo with a heat device, call it laser, or vaser type. That is a risk with those devices. That is why I like to stay away from them, and use a more efficient and safer machine, called the Microaire, obtaining magnificent results.
