How to prepare?
Your doctor will provide you with specific information on how to prepare for your procedure.
They may advise you to:
Stop taking blood thinners and anti-inflammatory drugs for two weeks prior to your procedure. These medications could interfere with your body’s healing process.
Avoid activity that might irritate the area that is going to be treated for a week prior to the procedure. This includes tanning and shaving.
Make sure that your doctor is aware of any preexisting health conditions or prescription medications that you take. They can advise you on any other necessary precautions.
After the procedure, your doctor will give you a sheet of detailed instructions that will make your recovery process easier. Follow these instructions and watch the site of the lipolysis closely to make sure your skin heals properly.
Although you should be able to resume everyday activities rather quickly, it may be a good idea to arrange a ride home after the procedure. You shouldn’t drive if you’re feeling any discomfort, so plan ahead.
