The length of bed rest required after liposuction depends on the extent of the procedure, as well as the patient's individual response to the surgery. In general, patients are advised to rest for at least 24 to 48 hours after liposuction, and to avoid any strenuous activity or exercise for several weeks.
During the first few days after liposuction, patients are advised to avoid any bending, lifting, or twisting that could put undue strain on the surgical site. It is also important to avoid hot tubs, saunas, and other sources of heat that could cause swelling or promote bleeding.
Patients are typically required to wear a compression garment for several weeks following liposuction, in order to help reduce swelling and support the healing process. It is important to follow all post-operative instructions provided by the surgeon, including medication schedules and follow-up appointments.
In general, patients can expect to return to normal activities within a few weeks of liposuction, although this can vary depending on the extent of the procedure and the individual patient's healing process.
