Post-operative Care Is as Important as the Surgery Itself2025.09.14
For liposuction or fat-grafting breast augmentation, a beautiful result depends not only on the procedure itself but also on thorough after-care.
Even with the most careful technique, infection or fat-necrosis (“lumps”) can never be reduced to zero. These are rare but known risks.
Why Early Response Matters
- Infection
Prompt treatment is critical. Delay can lead to serious complications.
Early antibiotics and, if necessary, drainage of any fluid collection help prevent long-term problems. - Fat Necrosis / Lumps
If a lump develops, it may require aspiration with a fine needle or a small incision to remove it.
Quick evaluation and treatment minimize scarring and discomfort.
Questions to Ask Before Surgery
- Follow-Up System – How quickly can you be seen if something happens? Are evening or weekend visits possible?
- Additional Costs – Will emergency antibiotics, drainage, or revision surgery incur extra fees?
- Emergency Contact – Confirm a reliable phone number or messaging system for urgent situations.
Choosing the Right Clinic
Procedures such as face or arm liposuction carry relatively lower risk and some people travel abroad for them.
However, for breast augmentation or large-area liposuction, it is safest to stay with a clinic that provides immediate, in-person follow-up care.
Key Takeaways
- Infection and fat-necrosis cannot be completely avoided, but rapid treatment greatly limits complications.
- Always confirm your surgeon’s after-care policy—including response time, cost coverage, and how to reach them outside normal hours.
- A clinic’s commitment to post-operative support is just as important as the surgery itself.
