I am planning to have smartlipo done on my upper arms and bra roll on 4/9. I have a tropical vacation planned 4 weeks later, where I will be swimming in the ocean frequently, including needing to tread water for 30-45 minutes at a time, so I need arm strength. While my doctor has given me the OK, I want to hear additional opinions on realistic timing. It is a good idea for me to get this treatment done before my vacation, or should I wait? Before is preferred, but it isn't a must.

Answer: Smart Lipo recovery In general after about two weeks you should be comfortable enough to go in the ocean and to do light low impact activities as long as all incisions are healed. Your only potential issues would be if there was a complication, which is very low, that might effect your vacation. Also at only four weeks, there may be some resolving bruising and you could still feel a little tender. If you surgeon allows, massage will help get past that faster.
