Before surgery

These requirements apply to all three of the clinic's liposuction systems.

Mandatory pre-op tests

Complete blood count, coagulation panel (four tests), liver and kidney function, infectious-disease screening, and ECG.

⚠️ Abnormal coagulation is an absolute contraindication — surgery cannot be performed.

Stop these 2 weeks before

Aspirin, vitamin E, fish oil, and blood-activating supplements (notoginseng/sanqi, danshen) — they worsen bleeding and bruising.

Timing

• Avoid your period; no surgery within 3 days either side of it
• If your cycle is long (e.g. 40 days), aim for the mid-to-late follicular phase, when metabolism is most stable

Body condition

• Don't operate during a cold or any active inflammation
• For facial areas, avoid rosacea flare-up periods
• Arrive well-rested with adequate sleep
