Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Liposuction results vary on multiple different factors. The biggest factor would be who is performing the procedure -- their technique, skill, and experience. Post liposuction, massage, RF treatments and hyperbaric oxygen will drastically reduce swelling. I suggest seeking a board certified cosmetic dermatologist and following his/her pre and post operative protocol. Best, Dr. Emer

I recommend avoiding smoking, and anyone who smokes, and drinking alcohol at least 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after surgery. Do drink plenty of water and eat a proper diet of fruits, vegetables and protein. Do avoid high salty foods and drinks. also exercise, least walking, is beneficial. also, please wear your compression garments as instructed.
