What is the average recovery time after having lipo suction surgery?

"Immediately following Liposuction surgery, patients can expect to experience swelling and bruising. The swelling can take up to four or more weeks to go down. This is for patients who do not receive stitches. Those who do receive stitches can take twice as long to heal. That being said, one should be able to walk following surgery, and they should only be off work for no more than three days."
