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.

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

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.

Prior to liposuction, I would recommend buying arnica gel. This will help your body break down any post-op bruising that may occur. Just massage it into any area that is bruised. You will need an old blanket or towels the first 24 hours to sit or lay on, since you may have some drainage. Also, have some movies or books ready for the first couple of days as you recover. Best of luck!

JessieOther than the usual instructions for before and after care, you should try to be at an optimal weight to get the best result. Check out the link below to an article I wrote about plastic surgery diet. Good luck
