How long does it take to heal?
We encourage all of our patients to be physically active as soon after surgery as is practical. This is particularly true of liposuction. You will be wearing various elastic garments and girdles for between 3-6 weeks. These both control the amount of post-operative swelling and help to shape the new contours. You will be able to change these daily (or more often if necessary). The timing of normal showering and bathing will depend on a number of factors, but for most patients, showering starting the day after surgery (or even the night of surgery) is fine. There usually are no stitches that require removal. Most people recover sufficiently to return to work in about 1 week. And you will be encouraged to quickly resume full, normal physical activities and exercise. The new shape should be a motivator the resume or begin a regimen of exercise, shaping, and toning. The small scars will take months to soften and decolorize from re-to-pink-to-white. The results will be evident within severa
This varies greatly depending on the procedure in question. For small, non-invasive procedures, such as laser tattoo removal, or collagen therapy, patients are ready to return to normal activity immediately after treatment. For procedures like laser skin resurfacing or blepharoplasty, patients may be ready for most normal activities in 3-6 days, while more extensive surgeries such as abdominoplasty or extensive liposuction may require a more extended convalescence. The body’s complete healing process takes longer than this initial recovery time, and may last from several week up to a year or more as incisions heal completely and tissues achieve their maximum recovery.

Healing time depends upon the cellular time clock. Read below for a few examples of how long healing may take place for different parts of your body. …Unlike drugs, nutrients do not have rapid effects. NO QUICK FIX. The business of nutrition is to build a better body. That has to wait on Nature to turn over body cells. A BLOOD CELL LASTS 60 – 120 DAYS. In 3 – 4 months your whole blood supply is completely replaced. In 6 months almost all the proteins in your bones die and are replaced, even the DNA OF YOUR GENES. In a year all your bones and even the enamel of your teeth is replaced, constructed entirely out of the nutrients YOU EAT.
