Lipo tips

[AlienBandit 10]

The other day I got my band removed because of erosion and my doctor did some Lipo while I was under. I was just wondering what after care advice other people were given.

Of course I follow my doctors orders but all doctors are different so I think it is good to hear others experiences and what they did after having some lipo.

Hi:

You may want to post your question on makemeheal.com There are alot more plastic surgery patients there.

Personally, when I had my Tummy Tuck I had some Lipo too. I had to wear a compression garment for a long time. I'm pretty sure that is standard practice with a tummy tuck, not sure about with just lipo. When my surgeon did the lipo she did it in the mons area too and that part was very painful for a couple of weeks.

Hope all is well with you.

thanks for the website. I am going to check it out. How long is a long time?

Hi:

I had to wear the compression garment 24/7 for the first 4 to 6 weeks and then at night only for up to 3 months. That's what I'm remembering, but I could be mistaken. It's kind of surprising that I preferred having the tight fitting compression garments on for the first 3 months because then nothing would jiggle around and it was less painful by being bound up.

Good luck!

What on earth is a bariatric surgeon doing Lipo for?

[AlienBandit 10]

well this doesnt really help with what I asked about. My doctor has a plastic surgery team that works with his patients for things like tummy tucks etc. It is great because if I do have a Tummy Tuck he would be there to make sure the port and tubing etc is placed right.

Oh, OK. I know it was off topic, but I was a bit gobsmacked by it.
