I am a 40 year old female. I want to know how long does it take to recover from back liposuction?

Recovery time is based on many factors such as how much suction is performed and what you need to do. Liposuction is usually a procedure with a short recuperation time.

It will take 7-10days for the initial post-op pain/soreness to resolve. That’s why I recommend taking 7-10 days off from work. You’ll see the final results after 8weeks when most of the swelling will be gone. You’ll still see some smaller changes for up to 6months.
4 to 6 weeks
