          What is the Liposuction Timeline?

          First 6 Hours

          The patient does not eat or drink in any way within 6 hours after the liposuction treatment. After 6 hours, nutrition begins with soft foods.

          First 24 Hours

          The fluid supplement to be made within the first 24 hours is adjusted by the doctor to suit the patient. In the same process, the urine output of the patient is also kept under observation.

          Immediately after the liposuction treatment, the patient can start feeding orally. Afterwards, light walking exercises can be started.

          If diseases such as anemia or various diabetes and blood pressure disorders are present in the patient, these exercises can be postponed. In order to avoid an aesthetic problem, it is important that the exercises are at a level that will not force the patient.



          Fat Embolism After Liposuction

          It is possible that the blood in the vein of the foot may form a clot and cause permanent damage to the brain or other vital organs. This is also called "throwing the clot" among the people.

          The risk of embolism is not negligible in cases where the volume of fat aspirated from the patient is more than necessary, high level of obesity, presence of smoking, known cardiovascular diseases in the patient, the operation taking too long, and the use of birth control pills.

          High-level measures are applied to the patient by the doctor to prevent embolism formation after the operation. The use of compression stockings, anti-coagulant, that is, blood thinner drug treatments can be given as examples of such measures.

          First Week

          There is no harm in taking a bath with the permission of the doctor, on average 7 days after the surgical operation.

          After the operation, the use of a corset is very necessary to prevent the formation of edema and to get rid of the formed edema. The corset should tighten the area where liposuction is applied as much as possible and even be narrow enough that the patient can wear it with difficulty.

          After the edema formations are visibly cleared, the use of a small size corset can be started by the patient. Attention should be paid to the use of corsets regularly for 3-4 weeks, and then at regular intervals as recommended by the doctor.

          After liposuction, bruising may occur, albeit very slightly. These bruises, which usually occur, occur in the corset fold area and pass between 7 and 10 days.

          First Month

          There is no harm in performing lymph drainage massages approximately 10 days after the liposuction procedure. Lymph drainage massages accelerate healing and removal of edema. At the same time, walking exercises are among the massage exercises that can be applied apart from lymph drainage massages.

          What are the Tips to Speed Up Liposuction Recovery Time?

          The recovery process after liposuction generally depends on the volume of the operation. As the number of treated areas increases, the healing process may increase in time. In other words, the recovery period of a small-scale operation is shorter and easier.
           
          The duration and form of the liposuction surgery to be applied varies from patient to patient. The recovery period after the procedure covers a period of about 2 months.

          Permanent scar formation on the patient's body after the surgery can be prevented with diet, exercise and drug treatments recommended by the doctor to the patient.
           
          Within the scope of the measures to be applied during the process, walking exercises can be started by the patient within 4 to 8 days. However, the patient should avoid exercises and activities that require a high level of effort, including sexual intercourse.
           
          So, do permanent spots or scars occur on the skin after liposuction? Along with the developing technology, the developments in the field of health also provide great advantages in obtaining the desired appearance of the patients in terms of aesthetics.
           
          Thanks to the thin cannulas used during the operation and various measures to be applied during the healing process after the treatment, the formation of permanent scars can be prevented at a very high rate.
