In fact, facial swelling after liposuction is normal. Don't make a fuss. It doesn't mean that the operation failed. Facial liposuction is to suck out the accumulated fat that affects the facial contour with fine instruments and professional technology, which will inevitably lead to redness and bruising at the liposuction site. Coupled with the effect of detumescence liquid, the first three days after operation are the most swollen period. If you want to reduce swelling quickly, it is best to do postoperative care in stages.

The most severe swelling stage

2-3 days after liposuction, the swelling is the most severe. At this time, we should pay attention to the surgical wound, remember not to wash the wound with water, and wipe the treated part with sterilized normal saline. If there is severe swelling, you can take some anti-inflammatory drugs according to the doctor's advice and change the medicine in time, but it is forbidden to take painkillers.

Acute swelling stage

One week after facial liposuction, the edema began to subside, and the initial effect of reducing the face shape can be seen. But you must never let your guard down because your face is swollen sharply. We must continue to adhere to daily care, abstain from alcohol and smoking, avoid spicy food, kelp, eggs and other hair products, eat more fruits and vegetables, and supplement vitamins and dietary fiber, which can speed up the swelling and recovery of wounds.

Complete regression period

Generally, facial swelling basically disappears about one month after liposuction. You can jump and have fun for a while, because you have succeeded more than half. However, the sun must be avoided within 4-6 weeks after facial liposuction, because this will delay wound healing and lead to pigmentation. Therefore, if you want to receive satisfactory results, you must listen to the doctor and do as the doctor asks.

In order to quickly reduce swelling, you can also make appropriate adjustments in your daily diet, such as eating some foods that are conducive to swelling.

Pumpkin: Pumpkin is a representative food for detumescence and is often the first choice after plastic surgery. Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A, which can effectively prevent postoperative inflammation or pustules.

Coix seed: Coix seed is a diuretic and detumescent food, which is beneficial to excrete the waste deposited in the body, but it is slightly cold, so it is best to eat less when the body is cold.

Mung bean: Mung bean can not only reduce swelling, but also soften blood vessels and promote blood circulation. Drink more mung bean soup, which is conducive to detoxification and swelling. However, the cooking time should not be too long. On the one hand, organic acids and vitamins are destroyed and their efficacy is reduced.
