How Will I Look And Feel After Surgery? |
||||||||||||
The speed of your recovery will depend largely on the extent of your surgery. Although everyone heals at a different rate, you can expect that your recovery will follow this general time line: Within the first week: ♦the swelling will reach its peak. ♦any non-dissolving stitches are removed at the end of the first week. ♦you may return to non-strenuous work after the first week. ♦you will wear your compression garment at all times, except to shower. After several weeks: ♦bruises will fade and eventually disappear. ♦areas that felt numb will begin to regain normal sensation. ♦you may resume your normal exercise activities after 4 weeks. ♦you can discontinue wearing the compression garment after 6 weeks. ♦swelling will gradually subside. After several months: ♦while you will have a good idea of what to expect from the results of your liposuction by 6 weeks after surgery when the majority of swelling has subsided, there will be ongoing changes for several months, with continued decrease in swelling. |
