How long does it take to recover from laser lipo to the tummy/flanks, thighs and back?

Liposuction is an invasive procedure, so you should be prepared for some restrictions on your activities. The first two days you may be quite sore. You should also refrain from heavy lifting and other strenuous activities for about two weeks. However, that's just a guideline. Your body will let you know when it's ready to go back to “work.” One of my colleagues went on a 60-mile bike ride a day or so after liposculpture and he was fine. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist will allow you to get a better idea of what you need to do to prepare for your laser liposculpture and recovery time.

Liposuction recovery is so fast and easy under tumescent technique under local and so patients are back to work in 2 days and back to the gym in 1 week.

The beauty of laser liposuction under local anesthesia is the minimal downtime and speedy recovery.

Typical recovery from laser liposuction is anywhere between 3-5 days. Most patients describe recovery to feel like an intense workout with some tenderness and swelling of the area that was treated.

I advise my patients to take it easy the day of and after their surgery, as this will help speed up your healing process in the long run.

My patients are back to work within 3 days and back to exercising within 5.

Treating multiple areas at once may require a bit more downtime as each area being treated will feel sore and tender.

It would be in your best interest to at least give yourself at least 2-3 days post procedure before resuming normal activities.
