Thank you for your question!! This is a highly variable topic and depends on the number of areas you had treated, your age, the type of work you do, and the amount of fat aspirated. Typically, I inform patients they can return to work in as little as a couple of days up to a week after the procedure. When they do return to work, I do educate them that they will be more tired than normal as their body is placing a lot of energy to heal the treated areas. So when you do go back to work, you may need to work some half days. Now, if you just had a little area such as your neck, you would be able to go back to work the next day if you are OK with others knowing you had your neck treated. You would need to wear the compression garment for about a week after getting your neck treated. In this case, it's not the Smart Lipo requiring you to take time off work, just the compression garment. It would be best to speak to your surgeon and ask him or her what they recommend. Hope this helps
Return to work after a smart liposuction procedure varies depending on the amount of liposuction performed and your level of pain tolerance. Patients routinely return to work on average 1-2 weeks post-op.
Thank you for your question. It is best to askthese questions during your consultation with your surgeon. Typically Smartlipohas very little downtime, you will have minimal bruising and swelling. Take iteasy after your procedure with no exercising for at least one week. Best of luckto you!
This all depends on how much Smart Lipo you are having done, what areas are done, what your pain tolerance is, and what you do for a living. You really need to pose this question to your surgeon to get the best advice on planning your back to work regimen.
When patients have liposuction done under general anesthesia their surgeons are often much more aggressive than when the patients are awake. They also tend to use less tumescent anesthesia (or none at all) which dramatically reduces bleeding and bruising. As a result patients are...
What your doctor is saying is true, to a point. It is useful to use a layer of foam between the garment and binder to avoid indentations. I recommend that my patients wear the foam for only a week and the garment for one month. The foam does not need to be a yoga mat, the type...
To do all those areas would require general anesthesia to do a good job. It's all about the dose limit of the local anesthesia injected. If multiple areas are being done under local, the anesthetic in the local tumescent solution has to be diluted too much (otherwise you risk going...
