What's some items you would recommend to prepare/buy before a liposuction surgey?

Thanks for your question. Every plastic surgeon has different instructions, so please consult with your surgeon. I generally recommend a compression garment, extra towels, tissues, and have all of your prescription medications filled. You should also have comfortable and baggy clothing, like sweat pants and button up shirts.

In my office patients are provided everything the need for liposuction. I do use compressive garments in the patients are measured for the proper size which is delivered to the operating room. Outside of that, being clean and healthy is about all that is expected. Prescriptions are provided at the time of the preoperative examination.

Please speak to your physician about this.  If they do not have a list, complete packet for you, then you should be going elsewhere.  The items required/needed are very specific to each physician and their plans.  Best, Dr. Emer.
