I had Smart Lipo 11 days ago and really want to take a bath. Taking them before bed really helps me to sleep and the compression garment has been giving me sleeping problems. I've also been on Minocycline 100mg for a month. Do I really have to wait the full two weeks? Doesn't the antibiotic help with the risk?

Answer: Bathing after liposuction The other 2 doctors here have said approximately 2 weeks out from the procedure, which is not wrong, but I think that this really depends on how large the liposuction cannula entry sites were (on top of the healing ability of the individual patient). If small cannulas were used, often 1 week is enough time. If larger cannulas were used, 2 weeks would be necessary. I see all of my liposuction patients at 1 week post-treatment and discuss whether "the holes are closed" or not.

Answer: When can I bathe after Smart Lipo Thank you for your question. We recommend two weeks before taking the bath, because adit sites usually seal by this time. If they take bath while they are still open or not completely sealed, they can get infection which is a very serious complication in Liposuction patients. Thank you
