What do you suggest to you patients to handle the first night of sleeping after Liposuction?

If the wounds are closed after the liposuction, like most surgeons do, you will have some leakage onto the gauze pads that are placed between your skin and the compression garment.  There are surgeons however that leave the wounds open.  I have never thought this was a good method....

   Liposuction cost is variable based upon the demand for the surgeon.  Some surgeons will always give conservative results, and some surgeons will always strive to give you the most dramatic results.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

I suggest speaking to your physician about the area of concern.  This may be scar tissue that needs to be treated and there are options if you do a treatment early enough. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thanks for the question. Generally, most patients can fly within 24 to 48 hours after liposuction surgery. However, car or airplane travel should be avoided to prevent the risk of blood clots in the legs. I wish you all the best.

Is it possible for some who is close to 400 lbs to get Liposuction on the abdomen, arms, love handles and back?

Liposuction is best performed on focal trouble areas for patients who are of normal body weight, or are only modestly overweight.  Unfortunately patients who are significantly overweight are unlikely to see a major improvement in their overall body contour.

Can I get liposuction with a lap band?

The lap band itself is not a problem with liposuction.  If you tell the plastic surgeon that you have a port they can avoid it during the procedure.  If you have the right amount of fat and the appropriate skin texture, you should have perfectly good results.
