What is recovery like for BodyTite lipo on knees?

BodyTite is done in conjunction with liposuction to obtain better skin tightening after the fat is removed. The recovery for BodyTite of the knees is quite simple: There is almost no discomfort at all, just some tenderness when you touch the area. You can engage in all normal and athletic activities within several days. There will be some visible bruising that should disappear with a week or two. Lastly, there will be some swelling but not too much in this area. You will need to wear some type of compressive garment full time for a few weeks and then wean it off over the next several weeks as the swelling resolves. This surgery can easily be done under local anesthetic in an office operating room setting.
