I read that Iv fluids after lipo may increase the risk developing pulmonary edema and are contraindicated. I have IBD and i am always a little dehydrated. I will stay at an aftercare facility for the iv fluids overnight. The fat will be removed from my neck. Should i receive the fluids ? Thanks.

Answer: IV fluids are seldom needed after liposuction. Most patients do not need IV fluids after liposuction. If the surgeon or anesthesiologist feels this is necessary for your well-being than by all means you should accept that.

Answer: Are IV fluids dangerous after liposuction? When you undergo liposuction, you undergo fluid shifts in your body because tumescent fluid needs to be initially infiltrated but then some of it is removed with the fat during the suctioning part. Therefore, good anesthesiologists will carefully monitor your fluid status and replace it as necessary (both intra-op and post-op). Best to discuss your concerns with your operating surgeon so you both are on the same page in re: to your recovery. Good luck!
