Hey there, it’s Dr. William!

Let’s dive right into it, shall we? Here are 15 things you really shouldn’t do after liposuction. We’re skipping the small talk and getting straight to the point.

1. Forgetting Your Supplements?

Nope! Keep taking your folate, vitamin C, and iron. Keep them in play for six months post-op. They’re like your little health sidekicks.

2. Skip Prep Before Surgery?

Big no-no. Stock up on what you need ahead of time. Trust me, you’ll want two fajas due to all that drainage and blood. While one’s in the wash, you’ll have the other ready to go.

And don’t skip on the OG roller! It’s got the shakes and the heat to keep your skin smooth and less fibrous post-surgery.

3. Ditch the Compression Boards?

Uh-uh. Wear one in the front and one in the back for a month. Seromas love those spots, and your fajas might not cut it alone.

4. Forget Foams?

Not a good idea. Use them on your sides and upper abdomen for a month. They’re like your personal lymphatic masseuses, moving fluid where it needs to go.

5. Ignore Chuck Pads?

Nah, grab a bunch. They’re just like doggy pads, super handy for handling the mess.

6. Skip Walking?

Get moving! It’s key to your recovery journey.

7. Skimp on Massages?

You’re gonna want at least 10, but 20 is even better. Start the day after surgery to tackle that swelling.

8. Stay Silent with Your Caregiver?

Speak up! Tell them what you need and how you’re feeling to avoid any hiccups.

9. Build Your Recovery Nest?

Set up two comfy spots with all the goodies: blankets, towels, chuck pads, lip balm, and something fun to watch.

10. Open Incisions?

Nope, no, no! Let them drain and close naturally. Opening them invites infection.

11. Hit the Bottle?

Say no to alcohol two weeks before and after surgery.

12. Light Up a Smoke?

Drop the smokes a month before and after. Marijuana’s okay if it’s nicotine-free; it can help with nausea, pain, and anxiety.

13. Dive into Swimming?

Avoid water like oceans, pools, and hot tubs until your incisions are sealed up tight.

14. Rush for Revisions?

Patience, my friend! Wait 12 months for everything to soften before thinking about any tweaks.

15. Layer Your Waist Trainer?

Don’t do it! Over-compression is worse than under-compression. Stick to rolling.

16. Delay Exercise or Sex?

No need. With lipo, you can jump back into activities as soon as you feel up for it.

17. Forget Your Scars?

Keep massaging those scars, two minutes, twice a day, for a whole year. Your future self will thank you!
