Liposuction surgery needs a period of time to recover, and you need to rest for two to three days after surgery, and then go to work, depending on the liposuction site. For example, liposuction on the leg can be completed in about two days, and the recovery period is half a month to three months. Generally speaking, there is no need to restrict activities or rest except cheeks, neck and upper arms. Other parts often need to rest for 24 hours after liposuction before they can do some simple and appropriate activities. The stitches were removed 7 days after operation.
