FAQs

What are the Post-op recovery and care options?

Usually, the epidural catheter is kept to keep patients pain free for a day or two. In most cases but also depending on the patient’s threshold, patients are up and about from day one. Drains are out by 2nd or 3rd day, and the patient can be discharged. A pressure garment needs to be worn for one month. Work off/leave is recommended for 1 week to 10 days.

How long the results last?

The results last forever if patients maintain body weight. But if pregnancy and massive weight gain occur, then there will be again stretching of the skin and loose skin appears. But usually, patients are so motivated after the surgery that patients tend to maintain weight and take care of themselves in a much better way.
