What do you think about the recovery period after liposuction surgery?

I am considering liposuction and am curious about the recovery period. I would like to know how long it took for those who have actually undergone the surgery to return to their daily lives and what precautions they took during the recovery process. I would also like to hear tips on managing swelling and pain. It would be helpful to know what to avoid after surgery and what foods are beneficial. I look forward to your advice.
