Mummy Tummy Liposuction

You will be able to return home the same day. You will be fitted into a compression garment which must be worn for up to 6 weeks, which assists in the healing process.

The procedure requires light sedation and a local anaesthetic – with most patients requiring one week off work. On returning home, you will not be bed-ridden and we encourage you to move about. You can expect some fluid seepage for approximately 3-5 days post-procedure.

Post operative lymphatic massages are an important part of recovery and achieving optimal results and you will be required to attend the clinic for regular massages for a few weeks.

Everyone heals differently. You know your body best and we encourage you to listen to it and give yourself time to heal properly. Normal daily activities can be returned to the day after the procedure, however vigorous activities such as intense exercise or sports for around 2 to 3 weeks.

To optimise your recovery process, become familiar with the do’s of Liposuction recovery:

• Do wear your liposuction compression garments
• Do maintain a healthy diet
• Do listen to your body
