Liposuction Post-op Instructions | Dr. Barrett Beverly Hills

[@roc2588]

I'm finding this now, thank you so very much for talking about the post op feelings of anxiety and depression. I'd never heard that and it's so good to know that it's common and that I'm not alone.

[@daphnejohnson3851]

I wish I had this info prior to my procedure. I am 9 days post op and never knew this info. Excellent video!

[@christinaspecos]

Would you be willing to share how your first week felt? I can’t seem to find good videos from the patient experience perspective.

[@acertainslantoflight]

Damn! I couldn’t have a doctor this fine!

[@ladysay3]

I liked the video before listening. Your delivery is fantastic.

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

[@adrianasantana-delgado2901]

OMG!! This is the first time I see someone talking about Heal Fast!! I looove that, 3rd surgery and I have recovered extremely fast! 😊 Dr. Said so, I told her about the heal fast and she will recomend it.

[@chelseaj7]

Thank you Dr Barrett you are so knowledgeable & helpful!

[@cristinas.5945]

I love how you explains, very professional. I had a upper/Lower abdominal liposuction done and I am on day 11, I wish I had done it before, it doesn’t really hurts is just a little bit uncomfortable wearing the gargment or faja. My question is : does the use of this affects the final results? The body will look better wearing this? Some people saying to wearing for 3. Months for better results, for me is very uncomfortable I can’t sleep. I will appreciate your answer. Thanks.

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.

[@sandradanielapaz9826]

@christinas. I'm so nervous about having lipo due to the recovery would you share more about your experience?

[@dr.dahrimanesh8381]

Thank you so much for your valuable information especially about garments

[@siska8007]

Thank you for this video! I feel so much better hearing this! I had a 360 lipo 7 days ago and it still hurts like hell! I still need my husband to help me get out of bed! I believe the reason I got so bad, is that my surgeon put me in a very small garment, I can’t even breathe and my whole body is heavily bruised and swollen. I changed 3 different pain killers and nothing helps me! I’m definitely going to order a bigger size garment and some of the stuff you recommended.

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

I understand your concern. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

[@alondrapena583]

I had a very small garment as well! They told me to take it off because I felt like I couldn’t breathe so they told me to take it off and they gave me a bigger garment!

[@Monamie44]

How are you doing now? How is your result?

[@LR-bt9ep]

Your first one shouldn't be so tight that it is messing up your body. You can get burns that way as well. They should have measured you before surgery to determine the right size. Only after some time should you switch to a diff garment. It varies. Some ppl say switch to stage 2 within a cpl weeks, some switch within days. It depends. I still rotate my original with a state 2 I bought. Bc the original is looser though, I wrap around a tummy tuck wrap over it as well. But yea anyway, sorry you went through that. And yes it hurts like hell the first week. Ugh

[@MM-fl2jg]

Great to know you can start skin tightening treatments with the Venus Legacy 2 weeks post op! Would definitely help with skin retraction

Just had lipo and yes, the coochie is FAT, but that's the least of my worries. 😂This shit hurts

[@peacock216]

How soon were u able to get up and walk around?

[@LR-bt9ep]

@@peacock216 Umm I want to say by day 3. I did of course get up think beginning day 1. Had to go downstairs a cpl times and to bathroom. But that was it. The first 3 days were very very painful for me. Days 4-7 bad as well. For some reason, after 1 wk, it was much better, but still felt like crap. By 2 weeks, of course better. In week 2, I walked much more, but still nothing intense. I'm almost 4 weeks out. My body is still stiff, esp back, and I'm starting to itch which makes me feel disgusted. Wearing the garment is extremely annoying, and for 6 weeks... ugh .I can't wait till this is over. But I LOVE my result.

[@peacock216]

Thank you so much for this info.. I’m having lipo 360 done nxt Sunday and I wanna fly bk on day 2/3 after surgery. Just wanted to see if that was do-able lol. Seems like I might need to think that thru lol

[@Behemoth66]

I have a question for my ex. She had the lipo 360 and Dr said to wear this garment that’s extremely tight fitting for 3 months that he sells to patients for $500.. I dropped out of med school to pursue a business venture. From my time in med school, There is no legitimate medical support that states a compression/faja will affect the outcome of a properly performed procedure. However, in terms of relieving discomfort and possibly healing a little faster sure. I know that you can’t go offering medical advice to public audiences for obvious reasons.. But as an opinion, from your knowledge/experience, if a compression garment and those massages that over 90% of surgeons push to sell, necessary and affect the outcome of a liposuction procedure? If a person doesn’t wear a garment and doesn’t have the ‘lymphatic massages’, could that possibly affect the aesthetic result? My understanding is that lymphatic massages are only needed/beneficial for patients with medical needs that do call for them

[@TheFalanBlake]

You’re not my surgeon but I wish you were. They haven’t even checked on me yet I’m one week post op. You have helped so much with this video, the compression garment gust so bad I can’t wear it’s bc I’m bigger. So it never was in my size to begin with. My arms hurt…. More than my back

[@AhmedAlmonsouri]

Loved the video, super informative! I just did gynecomastia and back liposuction, i wore the compression garment for a week but it is really bothering me. My doctor suggested that I don’t need a compression garment in the first place, but I just want your opinion on that. Do you recommend to your patients to take off the compression garment?

[@littleraskle]

I had lipo and my doctor only took out 900cc. I don’t feel like that was enough? What do you think what’s the average to take out?

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

this is very subjective. 900cc is a lot for some patients while for others it is not. You should discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

[@littleraskle]

@@barrettplasticsurgery I don't think its enough for me. I told him to please be aggressive. I have a 29 inch waist 'm 5'8 I don't see why he would take out so little when I told him I wanted him to take out as much as he could. I'm so upset :(

[@Hanna-bx1uo]

I am 30inch waist & took about similar amount 360 bbl. I don't think he could take any more so I suggest you wait & see the result .

[@katherineganzer4031]

Do you recommend massage after a abdominal lipo? I'll get a bbl soon. And I'm hearing mixed opinions. Also, should I perform lymphatic drainage massage?

[@barrettplasticsurgery]

every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

[@LR-bt9ep]

Absolutely. ... no clue why some dr say not to. It really really helps, physically and mentally. When the drainage started to slow, I'd get my massage, and be leaking within mins. You need to get all that stuff out. But also, it helps smooth out lumps and bumps. Yes you can do yourself, but gd luck with trying to stomach through the pain of doing so. It's diff doing it alone. Not to mention can't do your back.

Is it a good idea to get tummy tuck for back pain, have heavy breasts and have significantly lost fat at waist line, but skin is heavy as well and causes lower back pain.

tummy tuck will not solve your issues with back pain. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
