How soon can I return to work following liposuction?
The answer depends on a number of factors: how extensive the removal was, your age and general health, the technique used and the type of activity level required for your job. Obviously, someone who has a strenuous job that requires a lot of movement will need to factor that into the equation. In general, the pain lessens significantly in 3-4 days, after which many people can return to work. Since so much depends on how extensive the procedure is and what type of work you do, your plastic surgeon will be able to give you a much more accurate answer in person.
