How long is the downtime of abdominal liposuction as compared to tummy tuck?
In general, recovery from liposuction is faster than from abdominoplasty. For abdominoplasty, you should plan on 10 to 14 days until you are ready to go to work. For liposuction, you should plan on 3 to 4 days until you are back to being active. However, the indication for the surgery is the most important – they are not equivalent operations and you need to do the operation that is best for you.
