After a liposuction procedure, Dr. Bloch from www.bodybybloch.com uses elastic bandages or a compression garment to cover the operated area. This avoids swelling by compressing the skin to the proportion of your new body contours. Sometimes drainage tubes are used under your skin to help drain unwanted fluid or blood which quickens swelling. You will be given oral medications and ointments to apply on the treated areas. Advice on caring for the drains and special concerns about the treated site is also given. Your liposuction Chicago doctor will recommend follow up visits. Remember to ask specific questions about the duration to wear the compression garment, when the stitches will be removed and when to resume exercise. Swelling may take several months to disappear before you achieve your ideal look, liposuction results are however affected by aging and changes in body weight.
