How long does the surgery take / when can I return back to work? The liposculpture procedure varies between 1 and 3 hours, depending upon how much work is to be done in various areas of the body.

How long will my recovery take? Healing is a gradual process; you will probably be advised to start walking around as soon as possible to reduce swelling and prevent blood clots from forming in your legs. You will begin to feel better after about a week or so and you should be back at work within a few days following your surgery. The stitches are removed or dissolve on their own within the first week to ten days.

When can I resume physical activities? You will generally be able to begin resumption of your normal activities in two to three weeks. Patients are back to work in 3-6 days. Each case is different and the plastic surgeon will discuss your specific recovery thoroughly with you.

What am I to expect after my liposculpture surgery?  After surgery, you will likely experience some fluid drainage from the incisions. To control swelling and to help your skin better fit its new contours, you may be fitted with a snug elastic garment to wear over the treated area for a few weeks.
