You will need to wear a lycra garment, similar to biking shorts, for 6 weeks. We will provide this garment to you to be worn under your clothes like underwear. You can start to shower the day after surgery, wash the garment, and then re-apply it. Patients need to take one week off after surgery.

During this week off, the patient should stay fairly quiet at home. We suggest sitting around the house watching television, enjoying videos or reading. Patients with small children will need help at home. While this may sound excessive to some, staying quiet in the first week speeds healing and helps promote a better surgical result. Pain pills are prescribed to help reduce post-operative pain. Most of our Mississauga and Toronto liposuction patients can begin gentle exercise in about 2 weeks. This means walking, stair-master or treadmill walking is allowed but no running or high impact working out for one month.
