Things to keep in mind before Lipolas laser surgery

You must fast for 8 hours before surgery. However, only water (mineral water) can be consumed up to 200 cc up to 4 hours before surgery. You should avoid drinking alcohol for 1 week before surgery. From 1 week before surgery, you should not take aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, piroxicum, vitamin E, anti-inflammatory drugs, or arthritis medications that can cause bleeding. (However, you can take vitamin C, Tylenol, etc.) If you have a cold accompanied by high fever or severe cough, the surgery may need to be postponed, so please call in advance.

What to prepare on the day of Lipolas laser surgery

Driving on the day of surgery is strictly prohibited. Please come to the hospital wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Please prepare glasses as you will not be able to wear contact lenses on the day of surgery. Be sure to remove all jewelry, including rings and earrings, as they may be lost. There may be slight swelling during the facial treatment, so it is a good idea to bring sunglasses, a hat, or a mask.

Precautions after lipolas laser surgery

Some of the fluid may flow out from the treatment area, so do not be alarmed and refrain from making excessive movements. The treatment area may feel itchy or tingly, and there may be some pain and swelling for about a week. Depending on individual differences, the aspect may be greater or lesser. You may experience bruising or numbness after the procedure, but don’t worry, it will gradually disappear over time. Showering is possible from the day after the procedure, and washing the face is possible only after one day. For facial Lipolas laser, attach Duoderm to the injured area for 2 weeks.
