Garments should be tight.  I suggest hyperbaric oxygen, massage and radiofrequency treatments after liposuction to speed the healing process. Best, Dr. Emer.

The first few days after liposuction are the most painful, after that it is more like soreness than pain and will gradually get better every day.  Sitting in a car for any length of time will be uncomfortable, but will not affect the results of the surgery.  Good luck!

I suggest only seeing a VASER hi def body contouring expert for this type of treatment.  Circumferential liposuction requires a 4D approach and needs a specialist.  Best, Dr. Emer.
