Swelling/recovery time for knee liposuction?

sherezada9
I'm 37 years old, in good shape and looking into possibly getting inner knee liposuction along with my breast augmentation procedure. However, I am concerned about the possible recovery time of the knee lipo. I am a performer and will need to be on stage singing and lightly moving around two weeks after the procedure. Will I be able to do this with knee lipo? Or will I still have too much joint pain/swelling/bruising by the 2-week mark?
