How long it takes to recover after body contouring procedure depends largely on what kind of a procedure you had done and the extent of the treatment. A small amount of liposuction will need less recovery time than is required for more extensive liposuction. You can expect an extended recovery period for major body contouring procedures, such as tummy tuck or breast reduction. Others body contouring surgeries are considered less invasive and can be done on an outpatient basis, where you go home that day.
You should ask your surgeon for specific information about the expected recovery period for your specific body contouring procedure. Always follow your doctor’s advice on when to return to your regular activities.
