Swelling after Tumescent Lipo

Bruce Katz, MD answers: Swelling after Tumescent Liposuction?

I had Tumescent Liposuction on my upper and lower abdomen 5 days ago, is the pulling pain in my lower ab normal when i stand the first few minutes?

I also feel that my lower belly still looks the same. My upper abs look way flatter, could it be swelling? It looked perfect immediately after the procedure and it swelled for 2 days and on day 3 it looked flat, but now I am concern because it is poofy and jiggly.

Don’t worry, it’s completely normal. After tumescent liposuction, we always want our patients to remember what they look like the day or two after the procedure because that it what you are going to look like and probably even better. The few days after surgery you will start going thru the swelling process. You are definitely smaller then before lipo but it is not your end result. Hang in there!
