Getting Lipo next week, and married in 2 months. Is this too close to the wedding?

IN general, I prefer 3 months of recovery for such important events, but this is going to depend on exact nature of your procedure and also your surgeon.  Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified.  I've attached a link where you can start your search. 

hello LiselMost swelling and bruising will heal in the first 2 weeks, but can persist for up to 6-8 weeks. Patients are usually instructed to wear elastic compression garments after the surgery, the period of time will be advised by the doctor.Liposuction patients can see results of their procedures as early as 10-14days after the procedure, but improvements continue 4-6 months afterwards as swellings and irregularities resolve.#liposuction #results #touchup

Thank you for your question. Healing after liposuction is usually pretty straight forward.  There is a process of swelling and bruising that peaks at 3 days after surgery and then undergoes the first stage of major resolution in the first 2 weeks after surgery.  The later phase of healing takes place over the 2-3 months after surgery where everything really settles and softens.  It is after this time that we are getting close to the final result, though this varies patient to patient. You may still be swollen at 2 months post surgery but also may have good improvement. Good luck!

Recovery will vary from patient to patient and procedure to procedure. The majority of swelling typically resolves in the first 2 months. However, patients will not reach a plateau until 4-6 months post-operatively. Subtle changes will continue over this period.With regards to your specific situation, as long as you are not undergoing a significant contouring procedure your major swelling will likely have resolved by 2 months post op.A word of caution: complications are unpredictable. While unlikely, you schedule does not much of a margin of error. Thus there is an inherent risk of undergoing a procedure in such close proximity to an important event.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS). 

This is a great question.  First of all let me congratulate you on your new life together.  I have been married 25 years and everyday is a new learning experience.  The wedding day usually is focused on the beauty of the Bride so.....
Consider the fact that it takes about a month for the swelling to go down SIGNIFICANTLY.  So, when you go get that dress altered, keep in mind that you want to do the alterations as close to the wedding date as possible.  
If you can do your liposuction 6 months prior to the wedding, do it!  If not, make sure you wear compression garments (I use Isavella) to get the swelling to a manageable level.
Again Congrats!

You will likely still be swollen a bit as it can take 4-6 months or more for the swelling to go away completely.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!  Usually the major swelling has subsided after 14 days.  This includes the bruising as well.  However, some patients are swollen a longer period of time, up to a month or two.  Your final results may not be visible for up to 4 to 6 months.  Compression garments are a must.  Also, many patients report good results with arnica supplementation which you can purchase from any local health food store.   Ask your surgeon about other methods to reduce swelling such as specific massage techniques and the appropriate time to begin them.
