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: 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.

Answer: Lightheaded after lipo garment removal Thank you for your question. It can happens after lipo when they remove garment first time because of meds, pain etc. It is happening overtime, you should call your surgeon and talk to them.
