Calf/ankle lipo recovery? Have the procedure done in November and back to normal by May?

September 18, 2023
Asked By:dreamingofshorts in Ft. Liberty, North Carolina

Hi I'm looking at getting calf/ankle lipo and in my understanding that recovery is much longer. I'm due to have this done in November however, i have a wedding in May. I already wear compression socks daily but do you think I will be somewhat back to normal by may or will I still have to wear socks 24/7?
