It generally takes about 30 to 90 days to recover after thigh liposuction, although the exact recovery time varies depending on individual physical conditions. Thigh liposuction uses negative pressure techniques to remove excess fat from the legs, resulting in slimmer legs. After the procedure, patients need to wear compression garments for a period of time to help shape the legs.
