Some useful tips before deciding to do the surgery

Make sure you enjoy a tight sleep in the night before going to get the job done next day.
A sedative called Valium might be given to you
Take light food on the day the surgery is to be done.
Selecting a dermatologic surgeon at a reputable location is very crucial first of all to ensure minimizing complications.
Prior to surgery, the doctor will discuss any medications and supplements the patient is taking and advice on which ones to discontinue.
Try maintaining a normal body weight. Actually liposuction is mainly done for sculpting and shaping the body by removing localized fat in liposuction targeted areas. If you are very obese, then do not expect to get satisfactory result as then the sculpted look cannot be achieved much.
Ensure your skin elasticity is good to get desired results from liposuction.
Use old, loose and dark colored clothes on the d-day. a. Keep this in mind that anything you wear to surgery may eventually get ruined by tumescent anesthesia drainage.
Final results to get visible will take several months so do not have sky-high expectations to look absolutely skinny immediately post surgery. Remember this from the beginning.

Now, it’s time to advice on post-operative care-

Sitting in an upright position will facilitate drainage. If you lay flat on your back at home immediately after liposuction, you will start draining profusely the moment you next stand up. After 6-8 hours post operation you can sit and lie the way you wish.
Strenuous activity for the first two to three days following surgery should be avoided by the patient
For having meal and to go to washroom you are free and also advised. Do not keep lying on bed round the clock.
Listen to what your surgeon recommend and advise.
