How should I prepare for surgery?
Products that contain Aspirin, vitamin E or Evening Primrose Oil should be avoided for four weeks before surgery. The use of Vitamin K is recommended for three days prior to the surgery. Alcohol should also be avoided prior to the surgery along with stop smoking two weeks before and for a week after surgery.
On the day of surgery, the patient should wear comfortable, loose clothing preferably not clothes that need to be pulled over the head and face. No make-up is to be worn on the day of surgery, including nail polish.
Where will my Liposuction surgery be performed?
Dr Lim performs the surgery in fully accredited hospitals: Castle Hill Hospital, Holroyd Private Hospital, The Hills Private Hospital and Westmead Private Hospital. Liposuction procedures are performed under general anaesthetic and you can expect to be in hospital for between one to two days.
What will the day of surgery be like?
You will need to contact the hospital a day before surgery to confirm your admission and fasting time. On entering the hospital, you need to report to the admissions desk and the staff will direct you through the admission process. Dr Lim and the anaesthetist will both see you prior to surgery and Dr Lim will make some markings on your body. Following the surgery you will spend some time in the recovery room where you will be closely monitored until you are fully awake.
