How Long Will it Take Me to Recover After My Liposuction?


Liposuction technology is being improved all the time, making liposuction less invasive and taxing on the body. The field of Laser-assisted liposuction is growing especially rapidly, with a number of different companies devloping different lasers for the surgery, such as SmartLipo, ProLipo, CoolLipo, LipoLite, and LipoTherme. However, liposuction is still a major surgery, and it takes the body some work to recover fully. While how quickly a person heals depends in great measure upon his or her overall health, the amount of fat that has been removed and the skill of his or her surgeon, it is possible to make some generalizations about the recovery process. This article will explain, in brief, some aspects of the recovery process.

When you first get out of your liposuction, you should not plan on driving yourself home. You will quite possibly be feeling woozy or ill from the surgery. You may not be reasoning one hundred percent clearly, so plan on having a responsible adult who can care for you at your home on the day of your surgery. As your decision making capabilities may be hampered, you should not plan on making any important personal decisions within 24 hours of your surgery.

When you first get home, you should spend your first hours resting quietly. Your body has just been through some trauma, and it needs rest in order to heal. If you're feeling up to it, in the evening you can feel free to take a short walk. Do not drive or operate dangerous machinery until the day after your surgery. By the second day, you will probably feel well enough to drive and move around. However, you should wait to begin strenuous exercise until at least two days after surgery, and longer if you don't feel well. When you begin your exercise program again, go slowly. Don't push it--it's much better to be safe than sorry. On your first day of returning to working out, only do about a quarter of what you would normally do, and then wait to see how you feel afterward. If you still feel good, then do slightly more the next day. Continue this process until you have returned to your normal regimen.

If you have a harsh or physically demanding job, you will want to be careful not to rush back into work too quickly. However, if you have a desk job or some other non-taxing form of work, you should probably be able to return to work within just a day or two. However, you should still remember what your body has been through; don't push yourself too hard, and don't be surprised if you wear out more easily than you're used to, or if you get sore or stiff easily. You will probably experience your worst pain the second day after your liposuction. After that, it should get steadily better. If you experience sharp increases in pain, speak to your doctor.

While you should be able to return to normal activity relatively quickly after your liposuction, you probably won't see your best results for weeks or months. Swelling and bruising typically take a number of weeks to go down. Once the swelling has gone down, your skin may appear looser and floppier for a number of months, but with time your skin will begin to tighten again. You will probably hit your optimum skin tightness about six months after your surgery.

All of this is only general information, however. The specifics of your surgery will depend a lot on your individual circumstances. For more information, visit a doctor in your area for a free consultation.
