After leg liposuction, proper care should be taken through diet management and wearing compression garments. To ensure optimal surgical results, it is recommended to wear elastic compression clothing for three months post-surgery. This effectively protects the leg tissues, prevents excessive pressure that could affect skin appearance, and also reduces the risk of postoperative hematoma. During the recovery period, women can consume more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C. Adequate preparation before surgery is essential to ensure a smooth procedure, which should be performed by an experienced physician.
