What can I expect after the liposuction/body contouring procedure?
Patients usually experience very little down time after the liposuction procedure. They are encouraged to get up and walk the night of the surgery to help prevent deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or blood clots in the legs. Movement also speeds recovery. Most patients can return to work or their normal routines within two to four days. A light workout routine can be resumed in about two weeks. The initial soreness and discomfort is usually no more than that felt after vigorous exercise and, if needed, is easily controlled with oral pain medication in the first few days.
After surgery, patients are placed in a compression garment covering the sculpted areas. This compression garment decreases swelling and maintains the new contour. After a week or so an elastic garment (spandex or lycra) should be worn for about two weeks to continue and maintain the reshaping process. The final sculpting results improve over several months.

I had such a positive experience here with Dr. Z and his staff. From the initial consultation to my post-surgery appts. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. All my questions/concerns were addressed, the surgery itself went really well (and I am so happy with my results, seriously life changing), my recovery went smoothly and Dr. Z gave me his personal cell # so I could reach out if I had any worries during my recovery. Dr. Z and his staff truly care about their patients and go above and beyond to deliver the best results! I highly recommend coming here if you need any aesthetic surgery, you won't be disappointed.
