Before undergoing liposuction surgery on the legs, maintain good local hygiene, avoid the menstrual period, and complete a full-body medical examination. Stop taking medications such as aspirin prior to the procedure to prevent interference with blood clotting and potential impairment of wound healing. Alcohol consumption should also be discontinued, as it may accelerate blood circulation and increase the risk of bleeding during surgery.
