We know you will be excited to see your new look after a body contouring procedure! But how soon you will see results will vary depending on your specific treatment and your body's natural healing process. It may take several months to see the full effects of your body contouring surgery as your body recovers and the swelling disappears. Patience is vital in body contouring, and the wait is well worth it for the confidence and self-esteem of a contoured, toned body.
