Liposuction – Recovery time

 

 

Time off work is highly dependent on how large of an area is liposuctioned. If a single area is liposuctioned then it may be possible to return to work the very next day.

 

As more areas are Liposuctioned the amount of bruising and swelling increases and, therefore, the recovery time increases. If several areas are liposuctioned, it will take about 3 weeks for the majority of swelling and bruising to resolve. Some people with sedentary jobs go back to work after 4 days. If your job requires strenuous activity then it may take up to 2 to 3 weeks to return to work.

Testimonial

I just had lipo on my love handles last wednesday with Dr cruise, the results turned out even better than I had hoped for! I know I am still swollen but it looks soo good I would still be happy if it stayed this way... but to know its only going to get better is mind blowing to me. Im not a big girl, Im 115lbs at 5'4 but Ive tried everything to get rid of my muffin top and nothing seemed to work. when I dieted and worked out, my legs,arms, and chest got smaller but not the love handles which almost made them even more pronounced. the word lipo sounded scary to me, especially having images of tara reids stomach in my mind and just hearing stories about "plastic surgery nightmares".Looking now at my photos of before and after truly amaze me, I actually LIKE my body and im not embarrassed to be in a bikini, in fact summer cant come fast enough!. If you are reading this in search for the BEST possible surgeon, you have found him. Searching for plastic surgeons can be hard, most people look at their board certifications, education, etc. ( which is all very important) but keep in mind while looking, every surgeon went to school, every surgeon is incredibly smart and knowledgable, but plastic surgery isnt regular medicine to me ..they NEED to be an artist and that is a talent that cant be taught. I was fortunate to have gone to a true artist who understands a womens body and how to contour it. my whole experience has been lifechanging. im 4 days post op. on a scale 0-10 being the worst, my pain level is at a 2. I would like to say thank you to Dr. Cruise, you have taken an insecurity away that was greatly affecting my personal life as well as intimate life. You have given me my confidence back and I cant thank you enough!
