Liposuction is the most popular fat removal cosmetic surgery procedure in the UK. Liposuction surgery can help remove excess fat from a number of different regions of the body including the waist, abdomen, thighs, arms and back. Due to advancements in liposuction plastic surgery over the last few decades it is now commonly performed on multiple regions of the body during a single operation. Since liposuction is a surgical procedure it involves a certain amount of pre operative preparation like any other major cosmetic surgery procedure. Good pre-operative preparation is essential because it can help both reduce the risk of post operative complications and help improve the recovery time post surgery. Below are some useful guidelines which you should take into consideration whilst preparing for undergoing liposuction surgery or any other major plastic surgery in general: Consider quitting smoking or at least cutting down if you are planning to undergo liposuction surgery. Numerous studies have shown that smoking can adversely affect recovery post surgery with chronic long term smokers being affected the most. If you are considering quitting or reducing smoking before having your plastic surgery procedure, the sooner you take action towards your goal the better. Ideally you should stop or at minimum significantly cut down at least a few months before having your liposuction procedure. If you would like more information on quitting smoking contacting the NHS Smoking Helpline or your General Practitioner can be of great help. It is also a well known fact that healthy individuals recover quicker and with fewer complication after having plastic surgery. A good exercise program combined with a healthy diet can help improve the cardiovascular system, reduce weight and contribute to a smoother post operative recovery period. Excessive alcohol consumption should be avoided before undergoing cosmetic surgery as high alcohol intake can adversely affect the liver function which can lead to higher risk of complications post surgery. Good blood pressure control and cholesterol control are also important to minimise the chances of complications. If you think you may be suffering from high blood pressure or high cholesterol you should visit your GP to ensure the issues are addressed appropriately. If you are considering having liposuction cosmetic surgery it is important that you consult with a good qualified cosmetic surgeon. A good plastic surgery provider should also provide you with all the necessary information that you would require to prepare for undergoing liposuction surgery.
