No Drainage After Slim Lipo

I had slim lypo 3 days ago and was told to expect a lot of drainage. I have had none. The pads inserted into my compression garment are totally dry. I also look exactly the same size.Why would this be?

A: Drainage after lipo

If you post before and after pictures, we can give you more specific advice.  While most people drain after liposuction, some people do not.  Did they put sutures in the incisions or leave them open.  For our patients, we leave the very small incisions open so that you can properly drain.  If you do not drain, there is a small chance that you can get water / swelling collections under your skin that would be needed to remove the fluid.  However, without knowing exactly what procedure you had or examining you in person, we cannot give you specific advice.  I would suggested if you have any concern that you contact your surgeon.

 

Good Luck.

A: Slim lipo or lipo

Without stating what it costs, I would say that liposuction is often one of the least expensive things that a plastic surgeon does.

Sitting (Desk Job) After Slim Lipo to Outer Thighs and Banana Roll

I am planning on having SlimLipo done on my outer thighs and banana roll. I work from home and sit for 8-10 hrs a day to work. Is this going to be a problem with my healing process?

A: Liposuction and desk work

If you work at home and are having liposuction, you should be okay to work from home. I wouldn't sit for extended periods without getting up intermittently to move around to minimize the risk of clost forming in your legs..
