Every stage of the recovery process is key to achieving safe and natural results. With Dr. Rodriguez's guidance, you'll know exactly what to expect, how to take care of yourself, and when to resume your activities with confidence.
- The first week: rest and initial recovery.
In the first week, rest with movement is crucial to ensure proper healing. Dr. Rodriguez will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to help you manage discomfort and care for incisions. You may experience swelling and bruising, which is normal.
- Weeks 2 to 4: Gradual recovery.
As the swelling begins to subside and the bruises go away, you'll begin to notice the initial results of the procedure. During this time, you can return to work and do moderate daily activities. - First month onward: Final results take shape. After a month, most of the swelling will have subsided and your body contours will be more defined. Over the next few months, your body will continue to heal and you'll get the full results of your body contouring procedure, revealing a softer, sculpted figure.

It's normal to have questions. Here we solve the most common ones.
What are the most common body contouring procedures?
Some of the most common body contouring procedures include liposuction, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), thigh lift, arm lift, and full body lift. Each of these can be customized to suit your individual goals and needs.
Is body contouring a weight-loss procedure?
No, body contouring is not a weight-loss procedure. It is designed to eliminate persistent fat and excess skin, improving body shape and contour for people who are already at or near their ideal weight.
Will there be scars left after body contouring?
Yes, body contouring procedures do involve incisions that result in scarring. However, Dr. Rodriguez carefully places incisions in discreet areas, and with proper care, the scars typically fade significantly over time.
Can body contouring help after losing weight?
Yes, body contouring is an excellent solution for treating excess skin and residual fat after significant weight loss, helping you achieve a smoother and more proportionate figure.
Are body contouring results permanent?
Body contouring results are long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. However, significant weight changes can affect the result.
