How long is recovery time for thigh liposuction?

Recovery time will vary from patient to patient. It is imperative to follow closely your surgeon’s orders, so that you heal in a timely manner. For about two weeks following your operation, you will be advised to avoid partaking in activities and work. A full recovery can take anywhere from six to eight weeks, with swelling diminishing in your third month. Always keep your surgeon informed of new developments you encounter in your healing process. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the question. It’s too early to comment over the result. First couple of weeks after the surgery you can back to work and couple of weeks later your permanent recovery will start. It’s possible to see some major changes in Liposuction results till the end of 12 months recovery. I wish you all the best.

Hi, thanks for your question. I generally tell my patients that if they have liposuction on a Friday, they can plan to be back at work on Monday and back to the gym on Wednesday. Bruising is mostly gone in 10 days and almost always completely gone in 14 days. While a real change is visible after about two weeks, 3-6 months should be allowed for all swelling to resolve and for the final results to become apparent.
