Recovery Rules

Do's & Don'ts

Following these guidelines ensures the best result and fastest recovery.

Do's
Wear compression garment — 24/7 for first 4 weeks, then 12hrs/day for 2 more weeks
Walk daily starting Day 1 — promotes blood flow and prevents complications
Sleep on your back with upper body slightly elevated for the first 2 weeks
Stay hydrated — 2–3 litres of water daily to support healing
Take all medications — antibiotics and anti-inflammatory as directed
Contact us immediately if you notice unusual redness, fever, or heavy bleeding
Don'ts
No heavy lifting or upper body exercise for at least 4–6 weeks
No smoking or vaping for 4 weeks — nicotine impairs wound healing
No alcohol for 2 weeks — increases swelling and interferes with medications
No swimming, saunas, or hot tubs for 4 weeks — infection risk
Don't sleep face down for 3 weeks — avoid pressure on your chest
Don't remove garment early — it shapes your chest and prevents fluid buildup
Essential Garment

Your Compression Garment

The compression garment is the single most important factor in your recovery. It controls swelling, supports the new contour, and prevents fluid accumulation.

1
Weeks 1–4 — Full Time

Wear 24 hours/day, removing briefly for gentle washing. Critical for shaping.

2
Weeks 5–6 — Daytime Only

Transition to 12 hours/day. Continue during physical activity.

3
After Week 6 — As Needed

Optional during exercise or if minor swelling after activity.

Two medical-grade compression vests included — always have a clean one.

Proper Fit Matters

Common Questions

Recovery FAQ

Most patients rate the pain 3–4 out of 10, like chest muscle soreness after a workout. By Day 3–4, most stop needing medication entirely.
Gentle shower after 48 hours. Avoid direct water pressure on incisions. Pat dry carefully. Full baths and swimming should wait until Week 4.
Light walking from Day 1. Light cardio from Week 3. Lower body weights from Week 4. Upper body from Week 6. Full training at 8 weeks.
Incisions are along the areola border — virtually invisible once healed. VASER lipo uses tiny 3mm punctures that fade to near-invisible points.
24/7 WhatsApp access to your surgeon for 12 months. Send photos of any concerns — we respond within 1–4 hours. We can also coordinate with local doctors.
Removed glandular tissue cannot grow back — results are permanent. However, significant weight gain can cause fat re-accumulation. Stable weight ensures lifelong results.
