When the fat removal is in large quantity, then the patient will be asked to stay overnight for observation for the reason that patient may undergo a severe shock due to the loss of enormous fat from the body. The patient’s condition will be monitored overnight for avoiding any post-operative complications.

• Using liposuction garments that have elasticity properties will assist in faster healing, as such garments will facilitate faster and proper fluid drainage. The garment is also known for its ability to restore the skin condition to its original level in a very short time.
