Preparing for Liposuction
If you are considering liposuction or body contouring procedures, preparation is an important part of the treatment process.
At LipoRefine, every patient undergoes a consultation and clinical assessment before any procedure is planned. This allows discussion of treatment goals, suitability for liposuction, and guidance on how to prepare for the procedure.
Procedures are performed by Dr. Shamik Basu, a GMC registered doctor, in CQC registered clinical facilities, ensuring treatment takes place within regulated healthcare environments.
Before Your Procedure
Preparing in the Weeks Before Treatment
Before undergoing liposuction, patients receive guidance regarding preparation and general health considerations.
Preparation may include:
- Attending a consultation and clinical assessment
- Discussing medical history and current medications
- Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle
- Avoiding significant changes in weight before the procedure
Following pre-procedure guidance helps ensure the treatment can be planned appropriately.
Medications and Health Considerations
Medical Considerations
During consultation, Dr. Basu reviews each patient’s medical history to ensure the procedure is appropriate.
Patients may be advised to discuss or review certain medications prior to treatment. This may include medications that affect bleeding or recovery.
It is important that patients inform the doctor about:
