While it might be a cosmetic procedure, it is essential to remember that body contouring is surgery first and foremost! Adequate time to rest and heal is a necessary part of your procedure. We recommend patients prepare to take the appropriate about of time away from work and other obligations to allow for recovery.
You should avoid strenuous exercise or physical activity for at least a few weeks. This can cause unnecessary strain on your body and slow down the healing process. Additionally, you should avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, as it can also hinder the recovery process. Your provider will discuss the specific limitations and guidelines after your treatment.
