Liposuction recovery occurs in stages. After you return home from the surgical center, you can expect to need additional rest for three to five days. This can depend on several factors beyond the extent of your procedure, primarily your overall health. There is very little aftercare involved in liposuction recovery because your incision sites are only a few millimeters each. You may feel more tired than usual for a few days and you'll likely notice swelling and bruising. With rest, your post-operative side effects should resolve within one week.
