Precautions after Liposuction

How to Perform Self-Disinfection After Liposuction

1. Removing the Compression Garment | Sit in a clean, safe area and gently remove your compression garment.
2. Hand Washing | Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water or an alcohol-based sanitizer for at least 30 seconds.
3. Removing the Bandage | Carefully remove the bandage covering the incision site.
4. Disinfection | Disinfect the incision area with an antiseptic solution (e.g., povidone-iodine).
5. Drying (Air dry completely) | Allow the disinfectant to air dry completely. Avoid contact with unclean surfaces.
6. Antibacterial Ointment (Bactroban) | If prescribed, apply ointment with a sterile cotton swab. Keep the tube tip clean at all times.
7. Disposable Bandage | Apply a fresh disposable bandage. Do not touch the inner gauze with your hands.
8. Showering Instructions | Allowed after 3 days with a waterproof bandage applied. After showering: Remove the waterproof bandage and disinfect the area again.

• Please return to the clinic for stitch removal approximately 2 weeks after surgery. (To prevent infection, ensure thorough disinfection and complete drying of the area.)
• Disinfect the area once every two days. Replace the disposable bandage once a day.
• Bandage removal and disinfection should be performed one day after the procedure.
