  • Abstain from smoking and drinking for a month before and after surgery as it impedes the healing process.
  • Plan to be off work for about two weeks to recover and rest.
  • Avoid putting pressure on your buttocks. Do not sit on your butt or sleep on your back for at least 6 weeks, following your surgeon’s instructions on how to do that.
  • Keep your incisions clean and dry to prevent the risk of infection.
  • To help with post-op fluid retention and swelling, a compression garment (faja) should be worn for at least 8 weeks after surgery.
  • Take your medications (pain killers and antibiotics) as directed to subdue any pain and avoid infection.
  • Stay hydrated with plenty of water and consume a healthy diet.
  • Fight the effects of drying skin after surgery by moisturizing your skin regularly to keep it hydrated.
  • Only wear loose and comfortable fitting bottoms made of breathable fabrics. No jeans.
  • Abstain from using herbal supplements and blood thinners since they can increase the risk of bruising.
  • Avoid hot tubs, pools, baths and saunas for at least 4 weeks to prevent infection.
  • Stretch your legs regularly and walk at least 10 minutes a day to prevent blood clots.
  • Make sure to keep your follow-up appointments.

Following these steps will help your recovery tremendously and ensure you get the best results possible from your surgery.
