Recovery of a liposculpture
Recovery from a liposculpture or liposuction can last from days to months, depending on the size of the area that has been worked and the patient.
In general, recovery progresses in such a way that the patient can return to their routines after one or two weeks, and the recovery and full result is achieved in a few months.
After the first week after liposuction, the patient can move normally, with minimal discomfort.
Dr. Franklin Peña recommends that his patients wear girdles for at least the first post-operative days, in this way it helps to control inflammation and speed up recovery time.
After liposuction you can move and walk without difficulty, but it is recommended to have a person accompany you during the recovery process and thus guarantee the possible rest for the following days.
The first two weeks after liposculpture
After the surgery, a night of hospitalization is normal, to discharge the next day. The patient will go home with a drainage through the incisions, this facilitates the exit of the anesthetic solution and reduces the recovery time.
The inflammation will continue to go down as the weeks go by, until you see the final result. The skin around the treated area may appear loose, but it will tighten over time. This will depend a lot on the degree of elasticity of the skin, which depends on the age and genetics of the patient, it is estimated that in about six months the skin can be seen taut.
It is recommended to maintain control of the liposculpture area to avoid infections, through strict hygiene.
