Depending upon the amount of tumescent fluid injected in the areas and the surgical technique emloyed, the swelling can last from 4 weeks to a few months. I do Liposuction only under local anesthesia and in my experience the swelling can sometimes take 4-6 weeks to completely resolve
I am not sure where you read about ultrasonic cavitation but the only device approved in the U.S. for permanent fat reduction with ultrasound is Liposonix. Ultrasound can be used to affect fat cells with either heat or a property called cavitation, but this is more difficult to focus and...
