Liposuction results vary on multiple different factors. The biggest factor would be who is performing the procedure -- their technique, skill, and experience.

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.
The most important decision is choosing the right Board certified Plastic Surgeon. Follow their pre-operative and post-operative instructions

With awake liposuction, it is best that you take something for anxiety and pain prior to the procedure so you can better tolerate the numbing. Once the areas are numb, the procedure is much less painful, and you may find yourself sleeping.
