- Not drinking enough fluids. It is important to stay hydrated after liposuction. Drink plenty of water and other fluids to help your body flush out the toxins and fluids that are released during the procedure.
- Not getting enough rest. Your body needs time to heal after liposuction. Get plenty of rest and avoid strenuous activity for at least two weeks.
