Asked By:flowerscc in New York, NY

I was thinking of getting back liposuction in March along with my arms. I am 136 lbs at 5'4. I work= have limited time to have time off. I was wondering how much time needed post op. Usual protocol after? Medications I have to be on? For how long? Foods to avoid? post op I wanted to do a water fast for a week at a clinic since I have been getting sick a lot & I want to cleanse my system. Will this be an extreme thing? should I not do this during this time? if not how long after the lipo can i?
