Inner Knee Liposuction Recovery: What to Expect

Recovery Time

The recovery time after inner knee liposuction varies from person to person, depending on the individual’s overall health and the extent of the procedure performed. Generally speaking, most patients can return to work or school within a few days to a week. They may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort for up to several weeks, and will likely need to wear a compression garment to help minimize these symptoms. Strenuous activity should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks, as it may interfere with the healing process.
