Realistic- Bathing Suit 5 Weeks After Lipo?

Question

Of course I will ask my Dr. what expectations I should have and will to follow his after care instructions to a "T"... Is it reasonable in some opinions to think I could be in a bathing suit 5 weeks after the procedure for about 6 hours a day (no compression; warm weather vacation & hoping to join my family on the beach for a five or six days). Thanks for your additional input to what my Dr. will 'prescribe'. I'm not worried about the appearance of bruising. :-)

There shouldn't be any bruising left but you may have some swelling, but you should be fine to go to the beach or poolside.  Have a great vacation! ac

in general, assuming all went well, can't see any reason you wouldn't be just fine for a beach vacation five weeks out from lipo surgery.

At 5 weeks after liposuction it is unlikely you will have any significant bruising. There will still be a little deep swelling, but not much. My patients are out of their compression garments by 3 weeks unless there are some unusual circumstances. Have fun on the beach!
