What is the recovery like for inner thigh lipo? Is there lots of swelling?

Most my patients do very well after inner thigh and leg liposuction.  The key is good compression post procedure and movement/light exercise within 24 hours.  Best, Dr. Emer.

In my opinion inner thigh liposuction has less downtime that abdominal liposuction. Compression garments are necessary. You're still worn for six weeks. The overall discomfort from the procedure is much less and of a shorter duration

This should be relatively quick.  Other than requiring compression for about 4 weeks, you should feel sore for several days but should be able to do most things rather quickly.  With compression swelling should resolve in 3-4 weeks.
