Many patients want to minimize their downtime or days taken off from work when undergoing cosmetic surgery with Dr. Zuckerman. For liposuction especially, Dr. Zuckerman has devised methods to minimize downtime and quicken recovery. While this rapid recovery does depend on the extent of liposuction performed and will vary by patient, Dr. Zuckerman can often offer the procedure on a Thursday or even a Friday and have the patient back to work by Monday.
