If you have stubborn pockets of fat on your body you want to shift, then you have probably considered liposuction.
Unfortunately, you don’t always know whether you’re a good candidate for treatment or not. You’ve heard that it’s highly effective, but you’re not sure whether it will suit you.

From day three, the pain will fade, but you will need to keep physical movement to a minimum.
From around day eight, the soreness should subside and you may be able to remove bandages. You should also be able to return to work. Within 14 days, redness and bruising should fade.
