I am 2 months post op from Lipo 360 and am overall recovering well. I do have general questions about what recovery will look like moving forward but my surgeon has not returned any phone calls since my two week post op appointment. Swelling has gone down tremendously and incisions have closed. How much longer, generally speaking, should I wait before going to a sauna and/or float therapy and will that help with inflammation?

Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear Bookguru_, I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

Answer: Surgery You can always contact your surgeon's nurse. At two months, you should still be wearing garments during the day, but can do any activities, except tanning, that you like.
