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: Are IV fluids dangerous after liposuction? This is a reflection of the overall amount of surgery performed and the health of the patient. Smaller liposuction amounts in healthy patients would pose little risk for this complication.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA

Answer: Google Is Not Good For Your Medical Education Hello,If you have chosen a ABPS certified surgeon who performs surgery in an appropriately credentialed surgery center, you have no worries about proper treatment, specifically with intravenous fluids. Like everything else in medicine, improper use will lead to harm, however that doesn't make the treatment in question inherently dangerous.Intravenous fluids are absolutely necessary for your care during your surgery and immediately after in the recovery room. After that, most people go home and take fluids by mouth. If you are a high volume liposuction patient and are going to an aftercare facility or overnight hospital, then small amounts of IV fluid will probably be kept running for 24 hours.Best of luck!

Answer: IV Fluids If your surgeon feels that you need fluids after surgery, then you should discuss this with him or her. It is not possible to give medical advice without the information that will be available to your surgeon. If you are concerned, please ask. It is possible to have too much iv fluid, but if you are not able to take any fluid orally (which would be very unlikely after neck lipo), some patients may need iv hydration.

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!
