Recovery rates and the amount of pain you will experience varies from patient to patient. Recovery can depend on the extent of the procedure and how much fat is removed. You should be able to return to regular activity within a less than a week, and resume exercise within four to six weeks. You will be sore for a few days. Other factors that will impede the rate of recovery include: smoking, alcohol intake and poor nutrition.
You should expect some pain (pinches, pressure, even tickle over the ribs) during the procedure and a few days afterwards. Your doctor will pre medicate and perhaps play music during lipo. Many patients patients are able to return to work 48 hours after the procedure (which is also the length of time for the drainage to dissipate). Soreness may persist for up to a week after Lipo.
I have created a rapid recovery program that involves minimal anesthesia, use of energy devices to melt fat and reduce bruising, special garments from South America, and a nutrition plan. We tell patients to take 2 days off of work and 2 weeks off of exercise
The recovery time is different for every patient, depending on area treated, the amount of fat removed, their level of fitness, their age etc. But for most patients it's around 1 week. That does not mean bed rest, just no strenuous activity. A lot of our patients will go back to work in a few days. We perform our procedures under local anesthesia and on average patients rate the pain as minimal, less than 2 on a scale of 10.

Liposuction can be performed carefully if an umbilical hernia is present. If the hernia is causing issues, it should be evaluated by a general surgeon as well. Sometimes both can be addressed during one surgery.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss your ...
I am unsure of the strength/type of machine they are using, but generally a recovery period of two to three weeks is advised in between sessions- during which time you should avoid strenuous activities such as cardio exercise. You should also do considerable research in terms of who will be...
Non-invasive fat reduction typically only removes 20-25% per session. Usually several sessions are required several weeks apart as opposed to liposuction which is a single procedure that addresses all of the fat and offers fat grafting.You do not appear to have much fat for either. Fat grafting...
Laser liposuction like Sculpsure can require multiple sessions and works best in combination with Vanquish and Venus Legacy/Exilis Ultra treatments. You may be some skin laxity which would make you a candidate for a tummy tuck which could be done at the same time as liposuction. I use VASER HI...
