“3 days, 1 week, 1 month, or 6 months… how long does it take to recover after undergoing abdominal liposuction?” – It seems to be an issue that concerns lots of women. By “recover” here will have a broader meaning and it needs to be addressed specifically. In order to answer this question in more detail, please refer to the article below for more information.
WHAT IS ABDOMINAL LIPOSUCTION?
To answer the question: “How long does it take to recover after undergoing abdominal liposuction?”. You need to understand what abdominal liposuction is.
Abdominal liposuction is a cosmetic method applied to quickly remove excess fat under the skin of the abdomen from the body. This technique is applied when measures such as diet and exercise are not effective or for those who need to lose fat quickly.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECOVER FROM ABDOMINAL LIPOSUCTION?
Depending on the applied liposuction technique, health condition, and the cosmetic facility, the recovery process of each customer will take place differently. Specifically, if you undergo the High-tech Liposuction Lipo Ultrasound procedure at Gangwhoo Cosmetic Hospital with very small incisions (about 0.5 cm) then, the wound will heal in just a few days later.
However, regarding the healing process of the body’s appearance and functions – the recovery process might be as follows:
1. From 1 – 3 days
1 – 3 days after the surgery is very important because, during this time, we can determine whether the liposuction technique is safe or not. The shape of the abdomen at this time has improved greatly, but the wound has not healed. Therefore, you need to rest and avoid strong movements. You also need to avoid bathing and do not let water get into the open wound area.
You may encounter symptoms such as slight swellings of the skin, discharge, and mild pain in the surgical areas. But rest assured, because that is a normal reaction of the body after major surgery. After a few days, these symptoms will disappear.
2. From 5 – 7 days later
3. From 10 – 20 days
4. From 1 – 3 months

THE BEST WAY TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AFTER ABDOMINAL LIPOSUCTION
According to Dr. Park Sung Yong: “Any surgery takes time to recover – abdominal liposuction surgery is no exception. The recovery time depends on many things such as the type of surgery, the doctor’s skills, and the equipment used. How you do self-care at home after the surgery is important as well.”
As mentioned above, in addition to the cosmetic facility, the equipment, and the doctor’s qualifications… it depends a lot on how you do self-care at home as well. You need to do as follows:
- Clean and disinfect the wound with cotton soaked in physiological saline, and take the right dose of medicine as prescribed by the doctor.
- Soak the discharge and change the bandage regularly so that the surgical areas stay hygienic. When the discharge has stopped flowing or stopped completely, you should wrap the wound with bandages to help the open wound heal quickly.
- Avoid intense exercises. You should do light exercises such as walking to help remove the discharge better.
