Improvement will become apparent after about six weeks, when most
of the swelling has subsided.
Getting back to normal
Healing is a gradual process. Your surgeon will probably tell you to
start walking around as soon as possible. You will begin to feel better
after about a week and you should be back to work within two weeks following
your ultrasonic liposuction surgery. Any stitches are usually removed within the first week.
Activity that is more strenuous should be avoided for about three weeks
as your body continues to heal. Although most of the bruising and swelling
usually disappears within six weeks, some swelling may remain for six months
or more.
Your ultrasonic liposuction surgeon will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress
and to see if any additional procedures are needed.
Your new look
You will see a noticeable difference in the shape of your body quite
soon after ultrasonic liposuction surgery. However, improvement will become even more apparent
after about six weeks, when most of the swelling has subsided.
If your expectations are realistic, you will probably be very pleased
with the results of your ultrasonic liposuction surgery. You may find that you are more comfortable
in a wide variety of clothes and more at ease with your body. And, by eating
a healthy diet and getting regular exercise, you can help to maintain your
new shape permanently.
