Answer: How much time is usually enough for liposuction recovery? Liposuction downtime is very minimal depending on the patient. The first 3 days tend to be the toughest ones since you are going through the swelling, soreness, some fluids coming out and even some discomfort (pain) which is typically treated with oral pain medication. With the proper pain medications and compression garment patients tend to do very well and some tend to go back to work after a week of surgery. It is important that you avoid strenuous activities for the first 6 weeks, and you might resume workouts within a month post-surgery and little by little increase the intensity of it with your Surgeons approval. You will start noticing really good results within 3-6 months, but the final results will be within a year of surgery.

Answer: How much time is usually enough for liposuction recovery? Recovery time will vary depending on the size of the procedure. Less then a week of recovery time is good for smaller liposuction procedures, but it usually takes 2 to 3 weeks for most patients to go back to feeling normal. Most patients can go back to work after a week or so. You should use your post-op garment as directed by your doctor and avoid exercise or strenuous activity for about a month. Pain usually improves dramatically after a week. Soreness can last for longer but it is very manageable. Swelling may last for several months, and it might take over six months to see your final results.Best of luck,Dr. Miguel Mota
