How many post op appt are made after a lipo procedure... Also would I be able to fly 3-4 days post op for a duration of an hour
Answer: Recovery Hello, it will depend on your doctor's routine. I try to see my patients 4-7 days post op, then again at 21 days and at 2 months. I will say that if you will be safe to fly after 5 days if no complication is present. Best wishes

Answer: How many post op appointments Thank you for your recent questions! I agree with the other surgeon's response. Post-op appointments will vary depending on the plastic surgeon and what type of liposuction he/she does. Typically in our office we have a 6 day suture removal appt then a 3 week and 3 month, than 1 year follow up. As far as flying I would ask the surgeon that will be doing the procedure. Best of Luck!

Answer: Liposuction follow up Thank you for the question. Follow up is typically surgeon dependent. I prefer to see my patients at 5 days, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months post op. Therefore you should be able to fly out at about 5 days post op. Having said that each plastic surgeon has their own style of managing patients, I would therefore encourage you to have this discussion with your chosen plastic surgeon. I hope this helps. Best wishes.

Answer: Follow up Thank you for your question. In short, the number of appointments is up to your operating physician. However, I cannot stress enough how important the follow up is. Travel restrictions depend on how much you had liposuctioned and from where. Please contact your surgeon's office to determine if and when you should be seen. All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
