Hello 'alcala68', thanks for your question. Recovery from liposuction, as well as any procedure, varies from person to person due to multiple factors, including patient age, general health, comorbidities, history of smoking, the amount of liposuction performed and to which area(s), concomitant procedures, etc. Generally for liposuction, I recommend 1-2 weeks to go back to work and 4-6 weeks to get back to heavy exertional activities such as exercising and aggressive lifting/stretches. Hope that helps and be sure you get treated by a board-certified plastic surgeon!-Dr.92660
Hi and thanks for your question. It will depend on how much fat is removed but basically you will need at least 10 to 15 days of recovery to do almost all your regular duties except for excercise or lifting heavy things.Be sure to be seen by a board certified plastic surgeon.Best wishes.Dr. Milla
