Method and guidance for liposuction
The methods and guidance for liposuction are usually discussed during the initial meeting between the patient and the professional at Victoria Park Medispa. This consultation allows the patient to learn about the prerequisites they must strictly follow to ensure the procedure goes as smoothly as possible.
Liposuction has the advantage of targeting localized and stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. Provided that the pre-operative recommendations are followed and a balanced lifestyle is maintained afterward, this method can offer impressive before-and-after results, and patients can maintain their slimmer figure for a long time.
Liposuction method at Victoria Park Medispa
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves suctioning fat deposits under the skin using fine cannulas (very thin tubes) connected to a suction pump. This treatment is particularly effective for targeting areas where fat is difficult to eliminate, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and hips. The process involves the professional at Victoria Park Medispa marking the areas to be treated on the patient’s body. A small incision is then made, through which a saline solution is injected to infiltrate the fat before suctioning it out.
This step reduces bleeding and facilitates the uniform removal of fat. The results of liposuction are usually visible immediately after the procedure, although the final result becomes apparent after a few days, once the swelling has subsided. The liposuction method at Victoria Park Medispa allows for tighter-looking skin with little to no visible scarring.
Liposuction guidance: preparing adequately for liposuction
Before liposuction, the professional responsible for the surgery at Victoria Park Medispa shares their recommendations with the patient to maximize the chances of success and minimize risks. It is usually advised to stop smoking and drinking alcohol one week before the surgery to avoid excessive bleeding during the operation and to ensure proper healing. Additionally, certain medications, such as anti-inflammatories and anticoagulants (like aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen), should be discontinued at least one week before the procedure to reduce the risk of heart problems, bleeding, and bruising. If necessary, acetaminophen (Tylenol) can be taken. On the day of the operation, medications like Sudafed, Actifed, or appetite suppressants should be avoided to prevent interactions with the anesthetic.
The patient should maintain good hydration and a balanced diet in the days leading up to the surgery. Drastic diets or fasting should be avoided, as they weaken the body, while stable and healthy nutrition promotes better healing. On the day of the procedure, it is recommended to wear loose clothing to facilitate dressing changes and prevent stains from postoperative seepage. For women, a comfortable bra is advised, although it can be removed if the liposuction involves the abdomen or chest. Finally, it is important to arrange for someone to drive the patient home and to organize their home to facilitate the rest period and avoid any complications. Towels or plastic sheets can be placed on seats and sofas to protect them from potential postoperative fluid leaks.

Methods and guidance for liposuction: some post-procedure tips
After liposuction, following the postoperative instructions from the healthcare professional at Victoria Park Medispa is crucial to optimize results and prevent complications. Immediately after the procedure, it is normal to experience some swelling and bruising, which gradually subsides. Wearing compression garments helps reduce swelling and supports the new body contours. Medications can help manage pain and prevent infections.
While it is recommended to limit intense physical activity for a few weeks, short walks and moderate exercise can promote blood circulation, reducing the risk of blood clots. Maintaining a healthy diet and good hydration also accelerates the recovery process. The professional at Victoria Park Medispa ensures regular follow-ups to monitor healing progress and address any patient concerns. By following these recommendations, patients can maximize the benefits of liposuction and maintain their results in the long term.
