Vacation 4 weeks after lipo on abs and flanks?

Question

I am getting lipo done on my abs and flanks on 3/1 and plan to take a family trip to Mexico 4 weeks later. Will I be ok to go or will I still have compression garments on? I would hate to be in 85 degree weather miserableness.

Recovery is so much quicker and easier now a days with liposuction that a month later you should be enjoying your vacation just fine.

Laura A. Sudarsky, MD (retired) · Answer

Most patients wear compression garments for 6 weeks after liposuction. 3 weeks day and night 3 weeks night time only. If you are going on vacation 4 weeks after surgery that should be ok. Check with your board certified plastic surgeon to confirm this is the post op course that you will follow.
