How should you prepare for liposuction to get the best results? In this video, Dr. David Rapaport, board-certified plastic surgeon in NYC, shares his expert advice on what to do — and what to avoid — before your procedure.
Dr. Rapaport explains:
• Why you shouldn’t lose 10–15 lbs just for lipo — instead, have the procedure at your stable weight
• The difference between losing weight before vs. after liposuction, and why post-op weight loss can actually enhance results
• Why being in reasonable shape improves recovery and outcomes
• The importance of avoiding blood thinners (aspirin, Motrin, fish oil, red wine, resveratrol, etc.) in the weeks before surgery
• Why patients should avoid herbal or exotic supplements prior to surgery due to unpredictable effects on bleeding and anesthesia
If you’re planning liposuction, this video gives you the practical, safety-focused preparation tips you need for optimal results.
