Precautions for lumbar circumferential liposuction

The abdominal circumferential liposuction is a method to remove the deep and superficial subcutaneous fat deposited in the abdomen (including the upper abdomen, also known as the stomach, the lower abdomen, also known as the belly, and the bilateral waist, which can also include the back of the waist) through surgery, also known as closed bariatric surgery, to achieve weight loss and shaping purposes. The following points need to be noted after performing lumbar and abdominal circumferential suction: a. Will the skin of lumbar and abdominal liposuction sag? Objectively speaking, the subcutaneous fat is reduced and the skin will be sagging, but because the process of liposuction is also a subcutaneous injury, it can stimulate the growth of subcutaneous collagen, which can tighten the skin to a certain extent. At the same time, after lumbar abdominal liposuction, it is recommended to wear elastic tights for 1-3 months, the purpose is to prompt the skin to further tighten through pressure, in most cases, the recovery of skin elasticity after surgery is satisfactory. Second, do I need to rest in bed after lumbar circumferential suction? Generally, swelling anesthesia or general anesthesia is used for lumbar circumferential liposuction. On the day of surgery, you should stay in the hospital for one night for observation and bed rest, and you can be discharged the next day. After going home, it is not recommended to stay in bed all the time. Depending on the recovery of physical strength, you should move around appropriately, and you can usually return to work in 3 days. There is only slight pain after the operation, which does not affect normal life. Third, how long can I resume exercise after lumbar circumferential suction? In general, you can resume walking after surgery, but you should not overwork. Exercise can be resumed 1 month after surgery. However, strenuous sports, such as swimming, yoga, dancing, mountain climbing, etc., can be resumed only after 3 months. 4.Post-operative precautions Follow the doctor’s instructions to put on elastic shapewear immediately after surgery, which can reduce the post-operative hematoma to a certain extent, and prevent the skin in the operation area from appearing uneven and promote recovery. After 48 hours, you can use waterproof tape on the incision and take a quick and easy shower to avoid the wound touching water. The liposuction incision is extremely small and the stitches are removed about 7 days after surgery. No matter how skilled the surgeon is, it is impossible to completely avoid damaging some skin sensory nerve endings during surgery. As the liposuction area of the lumbar circumferential surgery is large, it is usually recommended that patients rest for 3-5 days after surgery before resuming normal work, and aerobic exercise can only be performed after about one month after surgery.
