Liposuction Recovery — What to Expect 🌿
📌 Swelling & Bruising
These are normal and typically peak in the first 2–3 weeks before gradually settling over the following months.
📌 Compression Garment
Wearing your garment as directed is important — it supports comfort, reduces swelling and helps optimise contour.
📌 Activity
Gentle walking is encouraged early to support circulation. Return to exercise happens in stages based on Dr Mistry’s guidance and your individual recovery.
📌 Final Results
Early improvements may be seen within weeks, but the body continues to refine over several months as tissues soften and swelling settles.
The aim of recovery guidance is to help patients feel supported, informed and confident each step of the way 🌿
