How long after PAL Liposuction will I need to recover to be able to go on long car trips or offshore fishing?

Question

I am having PAL liposuction with tumescent fluid this month on my Arms, upper/lower abdomen and flanks. How long before I will be able to ride in a car for 5 hours? For this amount of liposuction, how long should I expect to be in acute to moderate pain? When will I be able to go offshore fishing again?

Dear Versatile471913,
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.
