How to prepare for liposuction surgery?

Patients are always given specific pre-op guidelines by the surgeon. Yet, you can expect the following instructions:

• stop smoking (patients must quit smoke 4 weeks before the procedure, the high time to quit smoke may be sometimes 2 weeks before)
• maintain the proper hydration level
• follow a healthy diet
• take care of yourself and your health (avoid infections, cough or cold)
• do not drink alcohol (usually 2 weeks before liposuction alcohol is forbidden)
• avoid sun exposure (especially on the areas that will be addressed)
• from 1-2 weeks before liposuction, consult any taken medication with a plastic surgeon
• stop taking certain medications (e.g. aspirin – aspirin and ibuprofen cannot be taken for 2 weeks prior to surgery).

All other important instructions are prepared by plastic surgeons individually and passed to a patient about a month before the surgery.
