IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME*

Initial recovery is about 10 days off of work and depending on how much liposuction is required some patients are sorer and more bruised than others. Extended recovery time after the procedure is about six to eight weeks in order to give the fat cells time to generate new blood supply. You can expect to get back to normal social and work activities within two to three weeks. Initially, you will experience soreness and bruising and will have small incisions that will heal within weeks. Dr. Brown has specific protocols that will guide you on how you should sit and sleep during the healing process, because direct pressure on your buttocks too soon can delay healing, harm your shape, and damage fat cells.You will be instructed on how you can sleep and how to use your special compression garments. Lymphatic massage should be arranged and begin as early as possible as it will speed recovery and improve your shape. However we realize everyone can not have routing lymphatic massage so it is not absolutely required. You should expect it to take several months before you recognize your new and improved shape.
