The answer to this question is determined by a variety of factors. To begin, the size of the cannulas used can be a determining factor in the length of recovery. The procedure is faster with larger cannulas, but more tissue damage occurs. General anesthesia use takes little to no extra recovery time (other than the anesthesia itself). Swelling, bruising, and pain for a few days following Liposuction 360 surgery is common for most patients. The Plastic Surgery Center advises patients to stay home for the first few days following their procedure. Lipo 360 has a short recovery period, and most patients resume normal activities within a few days. However, as with any surgical intervention, recovery time varies, and it's important to follow post-operative recommendations. Your surgeon will give you specific instructions to follow during recovery that promote the best outcomes and swift healing. You’ll also need to avoid strenuous activities and exercise after your treatment. Overall, it normally takes anywhere from one to four weeks to go back to your normal routine.
