A. Because patients are not under general anesthesia but awake, the risks of Smartlipo are minimal.
Q. How long is the recovery period?
A. After Smartlipo you can drive yourself home. You will feel mildly sore for a few days but are not limited in your activities except to avoid strenuous exercise for two weeks. You will also wear a support garment for two weeks.
