Is it safe to take a epsom salt bath after liposuction?

I recommend following up with your Doctor regarding epsom salt baths/saunas after your procedure. For liposuction after care, I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I allow my patients to shower after a day or two, but you need to follow the instructions of your surgeon about soaking in a tub with epsom salts.  You should always contact your surgeon about postoperative instructions. Lack of cleanliness, and hot temperatures of the sauna can expose you to burns if you lack sensitivity and infection if your incisions have not healed.  I generally ask patients to avoid public bathing options for at least six weeks.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Dear Mommyfix2014,it would be the best to check it with your plastic surgeon. Every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol so I would suggest you to give him a call.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
