Are you interested in losing inches and reducing stubborn fat, but not sure if you have the time to devote to recovery?
Surprisingly, not all body contouring treatments require significant downtime; take a look at the most common recovery times associated with our most popular body contouring treatments.
*Individual Results May Vary
Downtime of CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting – an FDA-approved non-surgical treatment to reduce and remove stubborn fat cells – is a great option for patients who want to lose inches without surgery. There’s no downtime needed after your one-hour CoolSculpting session; however, you may experience mild side effects, like swelling and redness at the treatment site.
Recovery for Liposuction
Liposuction is still one of the most popular surgical body contouring options, and for good reason: it delivers exceptional results and can target fat better than many other treatments. However, it does come with a dose of downtime. Most patients can expect to take about a week off from work to recover from surgery, as well as spend the next two to three weeks wearing a compression garment to help reduce swelling. Results are usually visible about eight to twelve weeks after surgery.

Downtime for Kybella
If you have a double chin, Kybella may be a great solution for you. This injection uses deoxycholic acid to damage submental fat cells, which are then naturally removed from the body. Since Kybella is an injection, there’s no downtime associated with the treatment. Side effects can include mild bruising and redness at the injection site, as well as temporary swelling.
I don’t know where to start. Dr. Pittman and his staff are the best. Dr. Pittman performed liposuction on my chin, arms, belly, back and thighs in two surgeries. His staff are top notch. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I couldn’t be more pleased with my results. I had serveral consultations before Pittman Plastic Surgery. Once I met with him and his staff the choice was easy. If you want the best, you have found it.
