Liposuction

Liposuction recovery varies widely depending on how much fat is removed. Some patients are back to normal after only a few days, while others need a few weeks to feel fully recovered. Almost all patients are able to return to work and other normal activities within a week without undue discomfort. It is a good idea for Dr. Rhodes' liposuction patients from Las Vegas, St. George, and elsewhere to wear a compression garment for a few weeks after surgery. The skin may look or feel loose in the treated area for up to six months after surgery, but it will eventually tighten to better fit the body's new shape.
