How long does it take lipo to heal?

Thank you for your question. What patients usually experience after undergoing a liposuction procedure is a throbbing or aching feeling that is easily tolerated with moderate oral pain medications. Your recovery starts day one after surgery. Pain medications are usually only necessary for the first few days. On days four through fourteen you will still feel sore, but significantly less than you experienced on days two and three. So it basically takes about two weeks to recover from bruising and pain, and about 4 to 6 weeks for the swelling to go down. You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Thanks for the question. It’s too early to comment over the result. First couple of weeks after the surgery you can back to work and couple of weeks later your permanent recovery will start. It’s possible to see some major changes in Liposuction results till the end of 12 months recovery. I wish you all the best.

Average healing time is several weeks from liposuction, but this can be more or less depending upon how much is done.
