Time is the best friend of the plastic surgeon--and of the liposuction patient. At 6 weeks, you're definitely still swollen after liposuction (laser-assisted or traditional). I would NOT do a revision at 2 months or even at 4 months. The fact that your doctor "ran out of time"... more
How long should I wait before considering Lipotherme revisions?
I had my waist, upper and lower abdomen, and love handles done 6 weeks ago. They were supposed to do my inner thighs but ran out of time. There is a huge area around my belly button that is still big and the rest is small so there are what look like holes on either side of this huge lump the size of a soccer ball in my mid stomach area. Looks like I am three months pregnant. My doctor wanted to do a touch up at 2 months when she does my inner thighs. Now she is saying maybe we should wait until four months has elapsed but I know this section is not going to go down it is clearly not skin it is fat.
What do you think? How soon is a touch up supposed to be done?
