Post-care:Following VASERlipo, wear compression garments continuously for several weeks (typically 2-6 weeks) to minimize swelling, bruising, and aid skin retraction. Initially, prioritize rest and light walking to promote circulation, avoiding strenuous activities and heavy lifting for 2-6 weeks or until cleared by your surgeon. Maintain a healthy diet, stay well-hydrated, follow incision care instructions, and consider lymphatic drainage massages to optimize recovery and results.
