What Is The Healing Process Like After Liposuction?
Like any surgery, liposuction involves some pain and time to heal afterwards. It is always best to follow your doctor’s recommendations and monitor yourself for any would-be complications. One of the most frequently asked questions when investigating liposuction is “what will the after surgery healing process be like?”, “is there a lot of pain involved?”, “when will I be able to go back to work?” and other such questions. These are all very valid points and definitely should be considered before undergoing surgery. Typically, when surgeons use a local anesthetic instead of general anesthesia, the anesthetic will last up to twenty-four hours. This means that the day of the surgery patients experience soreness and tenderness but no excruciating pain. Afterwards, the pain felt is similar to that you’d feel after working out too vigorously. Soreness will persist for up to four weeks but should gradually subside and be completely gone up to eight weeks after the surgery has been performed.
