There will always be a short period of minimal swelling and sometimes bruising.  You must carefully follow all instructions provided by Dr. Weintraub in order to achieve the best results possible.  Mild pain medication, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, and medication to reduce swelling are all begun immediately following surgery.

When you return home from your surgery, you will be wearing a specially contoured garment.  Of paramount importance is the fitting and application of appropriately sized compressive garments.  Dr. Weintraub’s office will already have assessed the proper size for you, and all garments are custom made.  The consistent wearing of these garments is of utmost importance to ensure that the skin over the liposuctioned area adheres snugly and smoothly.  Two to three days after surgery, you will be able to shower, as Dr. Weintraub is a firm believer in early showering.  He will advise you as to when you can return to your normal lifestyle and exercise routine.
