LIPOSUCTION (Lipoplasty, suction-assisted lipoplasty)
LONG-TERM FOLLOWUP IN LIPOSUCTION
PROCEDURES
You will be required to wear
a garment that is applied
intraoperatively for five
days and nights without removing
the garment. You will not be able to shower or bathe in that time
and you will need to rely on sponge baths. It is recommended that
you refrain from having any pets in bed for up to one week following
the surgical procedure to prevent contamination and possible infection.
After five days, you will be able to remove the garment to shower,
but continue to wear it day and night up until two weeks following
the surgical procedure. In the second week following
the surgical procedure, you
will be asked to return to have your sutures removed and to start
massage and ultrasound therapy. This is included in your surgical
fee. Level of exercise will be carefully explained on your postoperative
follow-up visits or at the time of your massage and ultrasound
therapy. All of this is designed to carry out the mission of Dr.
Vogt and his staff to make your cosmetic surgical procedure a truly
warm and gratifying adventure.
