What should I do if I have bruises after liposuction? Do I need to be hospitalized after surgery?

A little bruising after lipoplasty surgery is a normal phenomenon, do not be overly nervous and anxious. Excessive friction of the liposuction tube during surgery, poor pressure in the surgical area, and excessive activity after surgery may lead to bruising of the skin in the surgical area, and the appropriate compression effect of the shapewear can reduce the symptoms. Liposuction is usually required to be hospitalized for at least 1 day after surgery for observation, and some hemostatic drugs will be used within 3 days after surgery. At the same time, local activities should be reduced, especially strenuous activities, to prevent excessive friction of subcutaneous tissues, which may lead to rupture and bleeding of small blood vessels in the operated area. If there is any discomfort, you should contact the doctor for treatment in time. If there is mild bruising in the area after lipofilling, it can be treated without special treatment, and it will slowly subside after 5~7 days; if the bruising and bleeding are serious, you can take some anti-swelling and anti-blooding drugs, such as Yunnan Baiyao, herbaceous rhinoceros fluid tablets (abortifacient) and so on. It is important to note that such drugs should be used only after the doctor in charge of the surgery has seen them and prescribed them, and should not be taken on your own. The need for hospitalization after lipoplasty surgery depends on the type of anesthesia used and the patient’s post-operative response. Generally general anesthesia surgery is mandatory for hospitalization and local anesthesia for patients depends on the bleeding and swelling during the surgery. Postoperatively, hemostatic drugs and antibiotic intravenous infusions are usually applied sparingly to prevent infection and bleeding and to promote rapid recovery, all of which require hospitalization. During the hospitalization of patients under general anesthesia, the doctor should observe the patient’s reaction after general anesthesia surgery. Some patients under general anesthesia react more to the anesthetic after surgery and may experience nausea, vomiting and other uncomfortable symptoms. The doctor can give timely treatment according to the patient’s reaction. The wound needs to be dressed with pressure in the early postoperative period, and the medicine should be changed in time during hospitalization to keep the wound clean and dry, which is beneficial to the recovery of the wound. In the hospital, everything is subject to the doctor’s arrangement, and there are corresponding nutritional meals in the hospital in terms of diet. Good doctor-patient cooperation can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
