How long does the liposculpture pain last?

Thanks to liposculpture, it is possible to reshape the body in a harmonious way, since excess fat in a part of the body that bothers the patient is finally removed, but at the same time it’s also possible to be used to increase the volume of some other areas such as the buttocks, hips or breasts using the patient’s own fat. 

During the liposculpture recovery process it is very common to feel some pain and discomfort. Answering the concern about how long the postoperative discomfort will last, we can say that it is very short. 

Liposculpture pain is moderate.

The pain felt after a liposculpture is low and it is moderate in the worst cases, but disappears after a few days with the help of analgesics and cold compresses. 

Only in case the pain continues for more days and becomes intense, it is necessary to contact the medical specialist immediately, because this could be a sign of some complication, and it is important to be treated quickly. 

Tips to reduce pain after a liposculpture

Besides taking analgesics to calm the pain after liposculpture, there are some tips that will help this process to be faster. 

Reduce your stress level

We know that the patient experiences moments of stress before the surgery and if the stress levels are not controlled, the pain may get worse. That is why what the surgeon recommends after liposculpture is to avoid stressful situations and people who can be annoying. 

It is also recommended to learn relaxation techniques and breathing exercises, since this will be beneficial, as it will allow to have a calmer and more bearable recovery process. 

Good sleep has an influence in calming the pain after liposculpture.

Having a good sleep quality helps to deal better with pain, reduces discomfort and accelerates healing. It must be taken into account that after a liposculpture, the patient must use appropriate pillows and must sleep in a position recommended by the physician. 

The physical activity must be increased little by little

Although it is recommendable to do physical activity as part of the liposculpture recovery, it is necessary to be careful with what our body is telling us, because many times we are too confident and push it too much, and what it needs is a little more rest.
