Hi, I’m sorry to hear you’re in pain — that’s more common than people expect in the first days after VASER liposuction. Typically, most patients start walking gently around 1–2 days post-op, but it depends on how extensive your procedure was and your individual pain threshold. Walking is encouraged early to reduce the risk of blood clots, but it should be light and slow at first. As for the drains (fluid bags), they’re usually removed within 3 to 5 days, once the output drops below a certain level, but again, your surgeon decides based on your healing. If the pain is unbearable, please reach out to your clinic to review your meds — proper pain management is key to recovery.
