What precautions should we be aware of before and after abdominal liposuction? Let's explore them together.
Preoperative precautions for waist liposuction:
1. Shower daily for three days prior to surgery.
2. Discontinue all medications, vitamins, and nutritional supplements before surgery to prevent impaired wound healing and increased intraoperative bleeding.
3. Refrain from smoking for two weeks prior to surgery, as smoking reduces blood oxygen levels and impairs wound healing.
4. Avoid alcohol consumption within 24 hours before surgery, as alcohol accelerates blood circulation and increases intraoperative bleeding.
Post-operative precautions for waist liposuction:
1. Actively cooperate with your doctor: Follow medical advice diligently after surgery.
2. Psychological care: This includes both pre- and post-operative psychological support.
Thorough pre-operative counseling helps stabilize the patient's mental state post-surgery, accelerating recovery. Consult specialists promptly with any concerns.
3. Cosmetic counseling: A key component of psychological recovery.
Plastic surgery hospitals employ dedicated image designers and cosmetic physicians. Abdominal liposuction reflects a desire for beauty, and enhancing one's appearance can facilitate post-operative recovery.
4. Avoid Sun Exposure: Refrain from direct sunlight for 4–6 weeks post-surgery, as UV rays may delay wound healing and normal pigmentation recovery. Sunbathing is permissible only after 6 weeks.
