Answer: Speeding up recovery There is no way to speed up recovery after surgery. There are a few things that can be done before and during the procedure to minimize postoperative swelling and bruising. These include not using over-the-counter pain medication, such as ibuprofen or aspirin, the week before the procedure. Also, avoiding fish oil supplements can help minimize bruising.There are a few things the surgeon can do as well during the procedure. These include using tumescent solution meticulously and waiting a sufficient amount of time after placing the tumescent solution before beginning the liposuction.I personally put less importance on the use of compression garments. I ask my patients to wear a compression garment after chin and neck liposuction for 48 hours. After that, they can wear them at night only.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
