I had cheek lipo and rhinoplasty with ear cartilage used for the tip on May 17, 2016, 31 days ago. How soon can i go back to playing badminton? There's gonna be lots of jumping, bending over, and overhead movements involved. I am worried that excessive body and head movement would "stretch" my face and ruin my results. Risk of getting hit on the face is very minimal. are my concerns valid? Thanks in advance!

Liposuction has no direct relation to hair loss. Hair loss can be due to a variety of other factors including genetics, physical stress (surgery, car accident) & emotional stress, pregnancy, lack of protein.. etc. If you have concerns I suggest consulting an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Thank you for your question. You are still very early in the post - operative recovery period. Swelling will slowly subside over the next three - six months. You may wear a compression garment over the next several months if you feel it helps. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.
When performing liposuction to the arms on my clients I recommend 4 weeks of wearing the compression garment. If the patient is still experiencing some swelling I often discuss wearing it another 2 weeks or so. Hope that helps!
