What is Recovery Like After SmoothLipo?

May 30, 2022 | Body

Small but stubborn fat deposits cause a number of problems, like poor self-image and low self-esteem. Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that enhances your body contours by removing excess fat. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jaime Schwartz uses advanced techniques like SmoothLipo so patients can recover and return to normal activities even sooner.

Of course, it is important to follow all post-operative instructions as given to ensure a smooth and speedy SmoothLipo recovery. Below, we take a closer look at what to expect after this popular surgery in Beverly Hills, CA.

HOW DOES SMOOTHLIPO WORK?

SmoothLipo is a less invasive, laser-assisted liposuction procedure that uses heat to melt away fat deposits before being suctioned out. This results in less pain and damage to the surrounding tissue. Dr. Schwartz targets specific areas of concern, like the abdomen, hips, or thighs, for optimal results. The length of your procedure may range from a few minutes to several hours, based on the size of the treatment area.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER LIPOSUCTION?

Most patients report discomfort and swelling after their SmoothLipo procedure. You may also experience some fluid drainage from the small incisions. Dr. Schwartz will provide a snug elastic garment to wear on the treatment area. This controls uncomfortable side effects and helps the skin conform to your new and improved shape.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN MY POST-OPERATIVE CARE?

Our trained team members provide detailed post-operative instructions about how to handle SmoothLipo recovery. These guidelines minimize your risk of complications and help your body heal as quickly as possible. Some general tips include:

  • Changing the dressings regularly: Keep the area clean and free from harmful bacteria. We provide education on how to do this correctly.

  • Get plenty of rest: Your body needs time to repair the treated area. Rest when you can and avoid any strenuous activity.

  • Eat a healthy diet: A nutritious diet helps your body recover more quickly. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive salt that could worsen swelling.

  • Take short walks: Walking improves circulation and prevents blood clots from forming.

Dr. Schwartz also asks patients to attend a follow-up appointment several days after their liposuction procedure in Beverly Hills, CA. This visit allows us to monitor your recovery and ensure you are happy with your SmoothLipo results.

HOW LONG IS SMOOTHLIPO RECOVERY?

Patients return to light activities within several days of SmoothLipo. However, you should avoid strenuous workouts for at least two weeks. Healing is gradual, and it is important to be patient as your body contours improve.

Final results are visible once any lingering swelling or inflammation has dissipated. Our patients are happy to report results that make them feel comfortable and confident in their skin. Many enjoy a newfound sense of self-esteem and participate in activities they once avoided. They may even wear clothes they would never have considered before treatment.

IS SMOOTHLIPO SAFE?

Yes, SmoothLipo is a safe fat removal procedure when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. Dr. Schwartz has years of experience helping patients achieve their desired look. Our staff relies on the latest technology to minimize any potential risks. We can review any potential side effects or complications associated with treatment during a consultation.
