I had lipo on abdomen, thighs (circumferential) and anterior knees-4 days post op. When I take off the Compression Garment to shower and rebandage I get lightheaded. I tried yesterday and gave up. I made it happen today but only with my hubby's help. I mostly sat on the floor the cuz standing made me queazy and see spots. It ONLY happens with the CG OFF. With CG on I can be mobile w/o incident. I plan to wear it for 4 weeks so it's not a terribly big deal but I'd still like an explanation.
Answer: Lightheaded After Liposuction this is completely normal and will take many weeks to get better. Stay hydrated and have someone help you with your garment changes. If its very severe please speak to your physician as medications can also make you dizzy. Best, Dr. Emer.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Report symptoms of lightheadedness four days after liposuction to your surgeon. Four days after liposuction most patients are physiologically fairly stable. Your symptoms should be reported to your surgeon.

Answer: Dizziness after lip Lipocontouring causes a body to lose fluid not only from any drainage/bleeding that you may see coming from the little incisions but also because of the great amount of swelling that lipo causes; this is what we call "third-spacing." In this situation, fluid that was in your blood stream is lost into your soft tissue where the lipo was performed. Dizziness is, therefore, very common. Drink LOTS of fluids. This may seem contradictory because you see how swollen you are so why add more fluids?? But your body needs the fluids to keep up your blood pressure, etc. Your lightheadedness will get less and less as your body heals, you increase your activities, and you keep up fluids and return to normal diet.
