I slim down as much as possible before the procedure will this reduce pain, bruising, and increase healing post-op? (Photos)

Hello and thank you for your question. Weight loss before liposuction procedures will not affect your healing after the procedure. However, the better shape you are in before your treatment, the better your results will likely be. Keep in mind that weight fluctuations after liposuction can affect your outcome so make sure you are at a stable weight before you undergo your procedure. Don’t be at your very skinniest because it’s hard to maintain that weight. Liposuction gives very long-term results if you keep your weight down over the years. Be at a comfortable weight when you do liposuction.
If you are in good health and you work with a doctor who is both board certified and experienced in the liposuction process, you should be back to most of your regular activities within a week. Swimming usually needs to wait about six weeks. Exercise is generally restricted for one week or even just a few days with the tumescent liposuction technique I use. Other types of liposuction require a longer post-op time, depending on the extent of your procedure. Our lipo procedures can be done using local anesthesia and involve less trauma to surrounding tissue. Many patients also find their recovery process is quicker and more comfortable than what they might experience after traditional liposuction techniques. 
Keep in mind the VASER liposuction destroys fat cells, so you cannot use them for a fat transfer procedure. However, tumescent liposuction fat can be transferred successfully to many parts of the face and body.

Thank you for your question and photos. Vaser liposuction is minimally invasive, with no damage to surrounding body tissue, meaning post op pain is minimised. It is not necessary for you to lose weight prior to this procedure, but eating healthily will help with the healing process. The downtime for this procedure is around 3-4 weeks, gentle exercising 4-5 weeks.  You will wear a compression garment  which limits the amount of fluid " swelling" that is produced. Also having lymphatic massage treatment soon after your procedure is advisable . Do consult with a board certified surgeon  All the best
