Recovery from Liposuction

Liposuction is a common surgery that can restore your shape to its most naturally beautiful. At Summit Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, we offer liposuction surgery for several parts of your body, allowing us to help you feel and look you absolute best. Recovering from liposuction is of great concern to many people considering the surgery, and Dr. Chhatre is devoted to assisting you in feeling comfortable and supported throughout the entire process.

Liposuction Recovery Period

With most procedures, you can expect to recover well enough to return to work and resume normal physical activities within 10 days. During these first few weeks, you may experience some mild pain, swelling and bruising around the surgical area, but Dr. Chhatre will work closely with you to ensure your comfort during this time.

Compression bands, prescription pain relievers, and limited physical activity will all assist in reducing discomfort and helping your body heal appropriately. Follow up visits will help Dr. Chhatre determine if there is any cause for concern, but this common procedure rarely results in complications.

The results of your liposuction may take up to six months to be fully visible. Your skin will need this time to tighten up and accentuate your natural contours. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will assist your body during this period and help make your final results as beautiful as possible. Revealing the naturally attractive body you were meant to have can take some time, but the permanent results will leave you with increased confidence and the ability to face the world with a renewed sense of desirability.

If you live in or around Kansas City, Overland Park, Independence, or Lee’s Summit, Missouri, please contact the experienced liposuction surgeon at Summit Plastic Surgery & Med Spa to schedule your initial consultation today.
