Liposuction is a procedure that I perform almost daily. Depending on the extent and size of the areas to be treated, disability is usually limited to only three or four days. I recommend a compression garment that is placed immedaitely after the surgery and is typically worn for three weeks. I allow patients to shower after only one or two days. It takes about four weeks to allow swelling to subside for the most dramatic results to appear.
However, you did not specify the areas you are interested in treating. Presumably this is you tummy. If so, then after six kids, a tummy tuck may be more appropriate. You need to see a local plastic surgeon to determine what is best for you.
