hi, I am 31 years old woman who has 2 kids. I did a smart lipo in the outer thigh because i always used to have a pear shape. I did the lipo one week ago and i knew that the doctor removed 300cc from each part. I am still feeling that my shape is the same, when it will be better and nicer.After how many days i should feel the result of the treated area?
At one week the amount of swelling is almost as much as the amount removed. But by two weeks, the swelling should really start to subside, and by a month patients will usually see a big difference. But hold judgement for at least three months, as swelling will not resolve for at least that long.
Smart lipo, just like regular lipo takes time to see full results. I usually warn patients that initially they may even look bigger right after a procedure due to the tumescent fluid and swelling. Usually by 2 weeks they can tell that they are smaller but I warn them they are far from maximal or ideal. The majority of the bulk (Fat) disappears during the first 6 weeks but skin tightening and achieving the final shape will take months.
I use 2 months as a follow up to assess overall symmetry and contour and expect that patients will be at around 80% maximal improvement but again warn them that the final point will be closer to 3-4 months or sometimes even longer.
