The body-contouring procedure known as liposuction can help you lose stubborn fat from numerous areas of your body. During your liposuction recovery period, it will be vital to follow your doctor’s post-operative care instructions.

Along with a reduction in volume of a target area, liposuction creates a degree of bruising and swelling. Six weeks of wearing a post-operative compression garment is very helpful for controlling swelling and bruising. After this period of liposuction recovery, the majority of the swelling should be gone.
