Smartlipo arms - what can I do to recover as quickly as possible?

May 25, 2019
Asked By:Soph93 in Oslo

I just had smartlipo done on my upper arms (back of them) and besides the armpits (where the bra goes). He removed around 300cc’s on each arm/armpit area. I’m wondering, what can I do to recover as quickly as possible? I was told to wear compression 24/7 the first week, then 12 hours a day for the following three weeks, is this what’s best? What’s the difference in recovery between smartlipo on arms and on abdomen/flanks? I’m 1 day postop and see absolutely no difference. Is it normal?
