Recovery Timeline: What to Expect After Vaser Liposculpture

Choosing to refine your body with Vaser liposculpture is an exciting step, but you probably want to know what the recovery will look like. 

At Smooth Solutions Medical Aesthetics in Williamsville, New York, Dr. Jack Bertolino has years of experience performing Vaser Hi Def liposculpture for men and women in Buffalo and the surrounding areas. 

This advanced technique uses ultrasound energy to gently break down fat cells while preserving important tissues like nerves, blood vessels, and connective fibers. It’s a more precise sculpting process with less trauma to the body compared to traditional liposuction. 

Here is a clear look at what to expect in the weeks after your procedure.

The First Few Days

Right after your procedure, it is normal to feel sore and notice some swelling. A compression garment will help control this and support your body as it starts to heal. 

Most people find they can move around the house within a day, but this is the time to take it easy, rest, and give your body the chance to recover without strain.

Weeks One Through Three

As the days go by, bruising and swelling begin to ease, and you start feeling more like yourself again. 

Many patients are comfortable getting back to desk work in about a week, while light walking is encouraged to support circulation. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting, though, should wait until you have the green light. 

Staying consistent with aftercare, such as wearing your garment, drinking plenty of water, and following instructions, can make recovery more manageable.

One to Three Months

By the time you reach the one-month mark, most of the swelling has gone down, and you’ll begin to see your new contours taking shape. This is usually when you can start easing back into normal workouts, though listening to your body and following Dr. Bertolino’s guidance is key. 

Over the next several weeks, your results continue to refine as the last of the swelling fades.

The Bottom Line

Recovery after Vaser liposculpture is generally smoother than traditional liposuction, but it still takes patience and proper care. 

Dr. Bertolino and the team at Smooth Solutions will guide you through each stage and answer your questions along the way.
