Your doctor will give you specific instructions concerning your post-liposuction recovery, and you would do well to follow these guidelines to the letter.\u00a0 The better prepared you are for the recovery, the less time it will take.<\/p>\n

Immediately After Surgery<\/b><\/p>\n

A typical Smart liposuction procedure will take on average a couple of hours.\u00a0 It could be more or less time depending on what area of the body you are having treated or whether you are having multiple areas of the body operated on.\u00a0 After the procedure, you will talk over with your doctor after how you feel and if you are uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

You will not be sitting in the surgical suite, outpatient facility, or hospital for long at all.\u00a0 Most treatments allow patients to be discharged within just thirty minutes.\u00a0 While some complications could occur to make you stay a little longer, this procedure is almost guaranteed to be a same-day procedure.<\/p>\n

In the Next Few Days<\/b><\/p>\n

As noted, your doctor will give you specific instructions that you must follow during your recovery process.\u00a0 You will be told how to care for your body as well as specific medications you are allowed to take.\u00a0 These medications can be applied to the site or taken orally to both aid the healing process and reduce any pain you may be feeling.\u00a0 You will also be told when and how often to follow up with your doctor.\u00a0 Make sure to ask your doctor any questions you can think of when seeing him or her for those follow-up visits.\u00a0 Never be afraid to ask questions.<\/p>\n

The Recovery Time Line<\/b><\/p>\n

Recovery time for liposuction patients varies based on the technique used, how much fat was removed, and which body parts were treated.\u00a0 While some procedures may have you back to normal activity in a matter of days, others may take a week.\u00a0 Bruising and swelling may continue for a week.\u00a0 However, the pain should only last a few days.<\/p>\n

Most plastic surgeons would recommend their patients take up to a week off of work.\u00a0 While you will be allowed to return to normal activity afterwards, you should refrain from strenuous activity for a few weeks.\u00a0 You may still be tender and sore, so it\u2019s best to give your body a slight break.\u00a0 On a good note, smart liposuction procedures are usually the easiest to recover from.<\/p>\n

Concerns and Complications<\/b><\/p>\n

Monitor your health closely after you head home from your laser surgery.\u00a0 If you think anything is abnormal, call your doctor immediately.\u00a0 Some complications could occur, including shortness of breath, chest pains, or unusual heart beats.\u00a0 If any of these situations affect you, seek medical attention immediately.\u00a0 It\u2019s better to be safe than sorry.<\/p>\n

You can rest easy knowing that the recovery process for liposuction procedures is fairly easy.\u00a0 You should never expect to be out of commission for months.\u00a0 You should be mostly healed within a week.\u00a0 Bruising and some soreness could endure for two weeks, so don\u2019t be worried if this happens.\u00a0 It\u2019s completely normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
