Why people choose it

• Liposuction and the transfer in one price

Wait, or talk first, if

• Accredited surgery center and board-certified anesthesiologist
• Implants, garments, and overnight nursing where the plan calls for them
• Every follow-up for a year

Recovery, honestly

• Day 0

  Home with a companion or to an overnight nurse. The surgeon calls that evening.

• Days 1 to 7

  Rest, short walks, first check in the office. Bruising peaks and fades.

• Day 7

  Back to desk work and driving for most people.

• Week 4

  Exercise resumes in stages. Scar care begins.

• Final

  Final at 3 to 6 months; some of the fat is reabsorbed.
