Do water pills help with fluid retention after liposuction?

I recommend following up with your Doctor about their after care protocol and the use of water pills after liposuction. For liposuction after care, I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. Swelling after liposuction is quite common. It's best to follow your surgeons specific advice post-operatively. We typically have our patients wear compression garments on the areas we did liposuction to help the skin and underlying tissues re-adhere as well as reduce swelling. Water pills won't help with the swelling unfortunately.  Good luck!

Unfortunately water pills do not help with the swelling after liposuction. Your best approach is compression garments, activity and lots of water. In time you will see your new contour. Best wishes.
