I’m getting lipo on flanks with breast reduction. Will it be noticeable right away? Can I go to work in a week?

You will probably see results right away, however it may take several weeks before all of the swelling resolves and you see your final results. My patients usually are able to return to work within 7 to 10 days. Good luck.

Hello and thank you for your question.
You will be swollen from the lipo. As long as you feel up to it, there is no reason you can not go back to work. Take care of yourself and let your body heal. Best wishes!

Dear Shaken17, 
Thank you for your question. Following your procedure, you should notice an immediate improvement in the size of your breasts and your hip contours. However, swelling, bruising and other side effects will affect the appearance of your results. Final results typically take around six months to fully develop, although small amounts of residual swelling can linger for nine months up to one year
When you are able to return to work will depend on the requirements of your job and the success of your recovery. Most patients find that seven to 10 days of rest is sufficient, although you may require more or less. I recommend you discuss these questions with your board-certified surgeon prior to your procedure to ensure you know exactly what to expect after your surgery. Best of luck to you!
