It is imperative that post-operatively, a firm pressure dressing is applied to the area for a minimum of 24 hours, after which time, it is ideal to apply ice packs to the treated area for several hours per day for 1 week.Smokers must be clearly advised to stop smoking completely at least 3 weeks prior to major liposuction, blood thinners stopped with a physician's clearance at least a week prior to surgery and an abnormal bleeding/clotting profile corrected with Vitamin K injections or other appropriate means.

Another example of surface irregularities after abdominal liposuction-dent (blue arrow), deep groove (red arrow) due to improper use or ill-fitting compression garment in a case with pre-op skin laxity. This uniform compression narrows the gaps between interstitial collagen bundles in the dermis and prevents red blood cells from moving toward the skin surface where it appears as a bruise.
