After Your Liposuction Procedure


Following your procedure, we will explain your healing process and how to achieve max results.  We will also provide you with all your medications and first garment at no additional charge.  Since liposculpture is minimally invasive and performed under a local anesthetic, you will be able to return to your normal routine.  You do not want to do any heavy lifting or working out for 4-6 weeks after your procedure.  Expect to have drainage from your incisions for a few days.  No stitches are necessary.  We recommend you have a driver so that you can kick your feet up and relax!

Follow up appointments are free and highly encouraged.  Our team at Pacific Lipo would like to see you during your recovery process and make sure you are getting the best results possible.  Patients usually return 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after their procedure.  If you are coming from out of town, that is not a problem!  Most follow up appointments can be done virtually through email with photos and phone calls.

Any questions or concerns you may have during your recovery can be addressed by a Medical Assistant, Patient Coordinator, or our Director of Surgery.  Don’t hesitate to call, our team would love to hear from you and we are happy to answer any questions you may have!

A Few Reasons Why Liposculpture Results May Be Less Than Perfect

Author Rod Davis, PA-C, Director of Surgery, Pacific Lipo

There are many different reasons that someone may end up with less than perfect results from a lipo procedure.  He or she may have looser skin or pre-existing stretch marks which is a sign that the desired amount of post-liposuction skin tightening may not be possible.  Some people may have had prior surgeries with large amounts of scarring which could significantly limit the potential for smoothness after a lipo procedure.  Some patients may not have followed important aftercare instructions or follow-up regularly with office visits/phone calls as instructed.  Some patients do not continue to exercise or diet afterwards to ensure optimal results.  As with any procedure in any office, results may vary.
Before/After Abdominal Liposculpture by Rod Davis, PA-C

I invite anyone to view Pacific Lipo's Before and After Photos to get a better idea of how results do vary for patients with different body types, prior surgical scars, varying degrees of skin laxity, etc.  Although results may vary, one can still appreciate the significant improvement that may be achieved when the procedure is performed by an experienced liposuction specialist.  That being said, patients must keep in mind that not everyone will be completely thrilled with their results, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the technique used by the liposuctionist was poor.  Sometimes our bodies don’t heal as nicely as we would all hope.  The goal of any lipo procedure is to help every patient look much better but unfortunately not every patient will feel better despite all reasonable efforts.
