How long will the pain and discomfort associated with smartlipo last?
You are correct, everyones bodies respond differently to Smartlipo. However, in general, you should expect two or so weeks of swelling and mild bruising after Smartlipo. The swelling makes the tissues feel thick or tight. Even though it does not look like it on the outside, the Smartlipo laser did a lot of work on the inside and the body responds to this by swelling. Wearing compression garments helps control the swelling after Smartlipo. Arnica Montana also helps with the bruising and inflammation. You should start to feel relief day by day as the swelling resolves. While a majority of the swelling will resolve in the first few weeks, it may take several months for the residual swelling to resolve.
