I have pockets of fluid that feel tight and warm. My waist is so uncomfortable due to the fluid around my waist from my lypo. What can I do so that this fluid will leave my body besides extracting it myself with a syringe?

Answer: How can I get rid of these pockets of fluid after liposuction?
Congratulations on your procedure! A good night's sleep is important for your recovery. Sleeping position depends usually on where on your body you had liposuction. I would recommending checking with your surgeon to see if they have any restrictions for you. Compression garments are a great way...
The vast majority of patients undergoing liposuction are capable of returning to their work the following day. Soreness is usually minimal. My patients may return to full athletic activity as soon as they wish. I ask that a compressive garment be used in the first few weeks.
