1. Swelling occurs much larger or worse when more body parts are involved in liposuction. Depending on the body part, bruises can sometimes last about 1-3 weeks. Within 3-4 weeks, approx. 70~80% of the swelling will gradually subside.
2. It takes approx. 1-month after surgery for the major swelling to subside and the remaining minor swelling will gradually subside around 2~3 months. Therefore, it may take you about 3 months after surgery to see and compare the effect objectively.

You might experience some amount of red-kind of discharge coming out of the treated area for 1~2 days after surgery. It may look like blood but it is not, so rest assured, don't panic. Wipe it off with a clean towel.

1. The compression facial garment helps to reduced pain, swelling, bruising, and bleeding throughout the healing process.
2. You should wear the compression facial garment for only 1-week after surgery and you should wear it continuously for the first 2-days after surgery. Starting from the 3rd day, it is recommended to wear it for 1 hour and take it off for 20-30 mins, then repeat the process. *You don't have to wear the compression facial garment while eating or sleeping.
3. Wearing the compression facial garment too tight can interfere with blood circulation, causing hair loss and headaches. Therefore, when wearing it, please avoid wearing it too tight.
