The : The swelling takes time to resolve but the time it takes to see your final result will depend on the amount of fat removed. A smaller amount will take less time to resolve as compared to larger amounts over more surface area.

Although : Although most of the early swelling resolves in the first few weeks, it takes 6 weeks to 3 months to see the final results after liposuction.

About a month: Most (80% or so) of the swelling settles down in about 4 weeks. Then, we have to wait for the skin to re-drape, which takes another 4-6 months. So, the recovery is a process which takes some time.
