What is thigh liposuction recovery like?
Immediately after the thigh liposuction, you will likely feel quite sore and bruised. You will probably want to rest your legs for 4-5 days, though you may be able to move around just fine by the day after the surgery. After four weeks, you will probably feel completely normal. For up to four weeks after the surgery, you will be instructed to wear a compression garment that wraps around your upper leg and/or waist to control swelling in the treated area. Your skin will likely exhibit some swelling and bruising, but this should diminish over time (especially if you wear your compression garment as prescribed). Any scarring will be nearly invisible.
