I want to have my thighs, butt and my stomach reduced. what would be the recovery time?
Answer: Not all liposuction recovery is the same!
This can vary depending on the amount of fat removed, with some recovering rather quickly over a week whereas more extensive liposuction may take up to 3 months for pain and discomfort to improve or resolve. Removing 500cc in a 110lb individual is not the same as 4000cc in a 180lb individual

Answer: Lipo Recovery Thank you for your question. Everyone has a different pain tolerance on average most of our patients are usually back to work in 1 week after Liposuction. The first 3 days are always the hardest since your body is extremely sore and swollen. It can also depend on the areas you had done, and the type of job you have. Some of our patients that have an office job and had their core done sometimes go back to work in 4-7 days. Keep in mind you will still be sore, as long as your job is not too physical a week should be a good time frame. Ultimately its all based on how your body recovers, if you know you don't have a high pain tolerance you might consider taking more time off. Best of luck!

Answer: Liposuction recovery Thank you for your question. Recovery following liposuction depends somewhat on the amount of fat removed. Typically, pain is sufficiently controlled and reduced by 5-7 days postop to return to work. Vigorous exercise is not recommended for at least 2-4 weeks. With proper use of a compression garment, the final result (after settling of all swelling) is made evident at around the 3 month mark.

Answer: Liposuction Recovery Thank you for your question. It is important to realize that the amount of time it takes for recovery varies greatly among individuals. The first few days after surgery, you should rest quietly. If you can elevate the body part, it is usually suggested that you do so. Remember, you must not take Aspirin or certain anti-inflammatory medications. You most likely will wear a garment. If it is too tight, you should promptly notify your surgeon. During the first 48 hours following surgery, patients experience varying degrees of swelling and bruising. Although the vast majority of patients will have virtually no bruising, some patients will have bruising. Bruising typically disappears within 7 to 10 days. Stitches are usually removed within a week of surgery. Straining, bending over and lifting should be avoided during the early postoperative period. In many instances, you will be able to resume most of your normal activities within 10 days or less. Best of luck!Dhaval M.
