Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Qiang
The recovery time after back liposuction typically takes 1 to 3 months. Excess fat in the back can affect body shape; liposuction can remove this excess fat, improving body contour and enhancing physical appearance. Liposuction causes some degree of tissue trauma, and wound healing requires time. With proper post-operative care, recovery may be faster, generally around one month. After the procedure, patients should wear compression garments as directed by their doctor to prevent worsening swelling.
