Post-operative care for back liposuction requires keeping the wound dry and clean, eating light and easily digestible foods, avoiding spicy or irritating foods, and refraining from strenuous exercise to prevent wound infection. During the back liposuction procedure, capillaries or small blood vessels may be damaged, potentially causing bleeding as a side effect. If the surgery takes too long or the liposuction area is extensive, patients may experience dizziness as a side effect.
