On The Day Of My Surgery?
surgical suite. Various types of anesthesia may be used for
liposuction. Dr. Behmand and your anesthesiologist will select the
type of anesthesia that provides the safest and most effective level of
comfort for your procedure. For some patients, local anesthesia is
used (usually with sedation) which numbs only the affected areas. For
others general anesthesia may be the best choice. Your physical status
will be closely monitored throughout the procedure and during your
recovery.
When your surgery is complete, you will be taken to the recovery
area. For some patients, small drainage tubes may have been placed
under the skin. Any discomfort that you may feel can be controlled
with medication prescribed for you. An elastic bandage or specially
designed compression garment will have been applied over the
treated areas to control swelling and to assist healing.
Very soon after surgery, you will be encouraged to get out of bed to
help improve blood circulation. At the minimum you should plan to
get up to go to the bathroom and for meals. Additional short walks
around the house are also encouraged.
