After undergoing fiber optic lipolysis for facial slimming, the recovery period can be divided into three stages: swelling reduction period, tissue repair period, and effectiveness period. Let's take a closer look at how long it takes to achieve the best results.
Swelling Reduction Within 7 Days After Surgery
After fiber optic lipolysis, the face should be wrapped in bandages for 1-3 days for shaping (bandages for limb lipolysis should be wrapped for 3-7 days). Facial shaping masks can be worn to promote healing and prevent hematoma. In normal cases, swelling will gradually disappear within 7 days after surgery.
Basic Recovery in About One Month
After the swelling subsides, the second stage begins, which is the tissue repair period. During this stage, the fat melted by the fiber optic is gradually absorbed, and the stimulation from the fiber optic promotes the generation of a large amount of new collagen tissue, restoring the elasticity of the skin and reducing wrinkles gradually.
Optimal State Reached in About Three Months
By the three-month mark, facial bruising and swelling have long disappeared, and the skin has become more elastic, achieving the best slimming effect from fiber optic lipolysis. If there is still a slight dissatisfaction, precise adjustments can be discussed with the doctor for a secondary procedure.
Tips for Fast Recovery after Fiber Optic Lipolysis for Facial Slimming
1. Avoid touching the face
During the first seven days after surgery, there may be pain, but absolutely avoid rubbing or squeezing the face to prevent exacerbating hematoma.
2. Avoid washing the face
To prevent infection at the facial incision site, do not wash the face with water within three days.
3. Apply pressure dressing after surgery
Applying pressure dressing can reduce hematoma and accelerate swelling reduction.
4. Avoid wearing makeup within one month
