Will I have to take time off from work after having liposuction?

Steve Fallek (Plastic Surgeon & Medical Director, Face Focus Medical Spa, New York City) gives expert video advice on: What should I expect after liposuction surgery?; Will I have to take time off from work after having liposuction?; Can I get other plastic surgery procedures at the same time I receive liposuction? and more...

If you're going to have a liposuction in an area that isn't involved in the face, you probably only have to take a day or two off from work. The incisions, the dressings and the garments will all be hidden by your clothes. It's a bit painful for a day or two after liposuction, but if you need to get back to work you can probably be back to work in 3 to 4 days at a minimum.
