How soon after Liposuction can I use my hot tub?

Question

On dec 8th, I had liposuction under regional anesthesia and iv sedation (inner& outer thighs, arms, chin.) I had the procedure in a different country so I am looking for answers from realself doctors. When will it be okay to go in my hottub again? I will have my stitches removed one week post op. Thanks in adv.

Once the access points for liposuction have sealed it should be safe to go into a hot tub. Nevertheless, this should be cleared by your own surgeon.

It is often best to wait until the incisions are completely healed and that you are otherwise complication free from your procedure. This may be as soon as 3 weeks.

Always best to ask your doctor,seems to me a responsible surgeon from any country should be happy to give you instruction.There Are several issues:wounds need to be completely and solidly healed without cracks or small openings to avoid infection.Second how clean is the water in the hot tub?Even if wounds fully healed sitting in a hot tub could aggravate swelling and tf prolong recovery.Finally if you have areas of numbness you need to make sure nothing is too hot that could lead to a burn
