Q: Vaser Liposelection recovery in 1 week?

A:

It is possible to be feeling well soon after VASER Liposelection.  Those who recover quickly tend to be those patients that are already quite athletic, have only small amounts of fat to remove, and have a high pain tolerance.

In my practice, for the areas that you are mentioning, I will typically advocate for gentle return of activities after 48 hours.  With good support garments patients can feel comfortable.

In general, most patients need 1-2 weeks to really feel like that are getting back on their feet.  With that said, if you think your holiday is going to be a busy one, I would hold on the liposuction until you have more time to recover.

Good luck,

Dr. Shah
