Before Liposuction

• Consent is obtained. Photographs are taken; the skin is prepared with a disinfectant.
• A sterile marking pen is used to draw a topographic map of the areas.
• The patient is placed on sterile drapes and/or towels, and standard local anesthetic is used to infiltrate the skin of the insertion sites.
• The site is widened and pretunneled into the subcutaneous tissue by using a small, curved hemostat.

• A blunt infusion catheter is then inserted into the site, and tumescent anesthetic is delivered.
• The liposuction cannula are placed through insertion sites. Suction will be performed by manual or aspirator.
• Suture the insertion sites immediately postoperatively maybe performed or not allowing for more drainage, less bruising, and less inflammation.

• Compression garments and absorptive pads are applied immediately postoperative period from several days to several weeks.
• The garments actually provide better comfort for many patients.
• The garment is often decreased as this swelling resolves.
