1. check with the doctor.
2. I don't know but I wish I could afford it. I would get it on my hips. I have to lose weight the hard way and actually exercise.
3. Call your surgeon immediately.
4. You'll probably be in a fair amt of pain for the first week, and less the second, but bruising could be severe for the first few weeks, as well as swelling. Make sure you are wearing the compression garment they gave you- it will help w/ the swelling. Definitely get ahold of your doctor if you have any type of fever, as this could indicate infection. (:
5. After surgery, you may experience some discomfort, pain, stiffness, burning or temporary numbness. Fluid drainage from the incisions, swelling and bleeding are also common. A small drainage tube may be temporarily placed at the incision sites to prevent fluid build-up. Your doctor may prescribe pain medication to help with any pain or discomfort that you feel, as well as antibiotics to prevent infection. Patients should start walking around as soon as possible, or as recommended by their doctor, to help prevent blood clots in the legs. A compression garment similar to a girdle is typically worn for several weeks to support the skin and control swelling. Stitches are typically removed within seven to ten days. Most of the swelling and bruising subsides within three weeks, though some slight swelling can persist for more than six months. http://www.drphilipmiller.com/Procedures/LiposuctionRecovery.asp
