Recovery after male liposuction is attended with some discomfort, bruising, and swelling during the initial days, with most men back at desk work within 3-7 days. You must wear compression clothing for 4-6 weeks to aid in recovery and minimize the swelling. Light activity can be started after the first week but you must wait until 4-6 weeks after the surgery or until cleared by your surgeon to do strenuous work and heavy lifting. Although improvement is seen within weeks, the best results take 3-6 months to become visible after the gradual settlement of residual swelling. Following the guidance of your surgeon is the key to the best recovery coupled with drinking enough fluids, adequate rest, and patience with the recovery process.
