Answer: Recovery after liposuction I typically tell my patients to stay out of the water and to refrain from strenuous exercise for 6 weeks after surgery. Most patients are swollen after surgery and the compression garment will help control the swelling so the more you wear it, the better you will feel. In fact, a lot of my patients will wear the garment for 2-3 months just because they like how it feels. Every surgeon is different, however, so make sure you follow your operating surgeon's protocol. Good luck!

Answer: Swimming after liposuction In our practice we recommend staying out of any water other than shower water for 4 weeks. We have our patients wear some type of compression for about 6 weeks after surgery. I would recommend going in for a few consultations with board certified plastic surgeons in your area. Good luck!
