Dr. Li Fengyong
Swelling usually subsides about two weeks after thigh liposuction. Thigh liposuction is one of the more common procedures in cosmetic surgery, which removes excess fat from the thighs using techniques such as negative pressure, ultrasound, or radiofrequency energy. The procedure is simple to perform, with noticeable and stable results, allowing patients to leave the hospital shortly after completion. Therefore, clinicians generally recommend that patients wear compression garments during the recovery period.
