Recovery from SmartLipo depends on a few factors. What area and how many areas are treated at the same time? How much fat is removed? How sensitive you are to pain? How well do you heal? After performing more then 500 smartLipo since it was FDA approved in 2006, these are the guidelines. You should not drive after the procedure; you should be able to drive the next day. Start walking the same day. Return to stationary work with in 2 days. No hot tub, swimming, running, jumping for 2 weeks. Return to exercise 2-4 weeks. 90% healed in 4-6 weeks
