Power assisted Lliposuction of abdomen and thighs. Best way to prepare body now and reduce swelling at time of surgery?

Dear luvnhair08,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

There is really nothing patients need to do to prepare for surgery. Individuals who smoke cigarettes should stop smoking as soon as possible when they know you’re going to have a surgical procedure.
The most important thing patients can do before having Liposuction is to confirm they’ve chosen the most talented and experienced provider by having multiple in person consultations.
During each consultation ask each provider to show their entire collection of before and after pictures for the areas you’re having a treated. being shown a handful of preselected pictures which most likely represent the best results of each providers career is insufficient to get a clear understanding of what the average results look like in the hands of that provider.
An experience provider should have no difficulty showing you at least 50 sets of before and after pictures for common areas like abdominal liposuction.
As providers to show as many pictures as possible of patients with similar body characteristics to your owner. You may also ask each provider to show examples of excellent outcomes, average outcomes and less than outcomes.
Continue consulting with different providers until you feel quite comfortable you found the most talented and experienced provider in your community.
Delivering consistent quality liposuction results is more difficult than most people believe and this definitely includes plastic surgeons.
A substantial number of board-certified plastic surgeons are in capable of delivering quality results on a regular basis and patients should take ownership of physician selection by properly vetting providers. simply being a board-certified plastic surgeon with overall good reputation is insufficient to confirm someone has mastered liposuction.
Once procedures are performed it’s very difficult to correct poorly done work.
Choosing your provider and understanding your own candidacy in regards to potential results are the two most important variables.
