Recovery Following Liposuction Surgery

You will need to wear a lycra garment, similar to biking shorts, for 6 weeks. We will provide this garment to you to be worn under your clothes like underwear. You can start to shower the day after surgery, wash the garment, and then re-apply it. Pain pills are prescribed to help reduce post-operative pain.

You should plan to take a week off after your plastic surgery procedure, limiting your activities to staying home, watching TV or reading books. You should certainly not be chasing after young children, so plan to make arrangements to get some help if you need it. We understand it can be hard to stop completely, but staying quiet in the first week actually speeds healing and helps achieve the best results from the surgery.

Most of our Mississauga and Toronto liposuction patients can begin gentle exercise in about 2 weeks. This means walking, stairmaster or treadmill walking is allowed but no running or high impact working out for one month.
