Tumescent lipo about 4 days ago for my abdomen and flanks. Little more than half a liter of fat removed. Is that too little? Already at my ideal weight. Pretty much look the same as before the procedure. Feel like I can pinch the same amount of fat from my skin (around 3 inches) before the procedure.
Answer: What's in a number?
That may be enough for you since you are close to your ideal weight. The key to lipo is what you leave behind. Meaning a plastic surgeon does not want to "over" suction a patient. I would not use pinch thickness 4 days after surgery because now you have tissue swelling. Allow the body to resolve your contour over the next 4-6 weeks.
Enjoy your journey!

Answer: Liposuction results with half a liter of fat removed
As stated here MUCH too early to see any results. But 500 cc's is very little, No photos so how can we opine? Please be patient until 6 weeks from surgery, than if not happy complain.

Answer: Liposuction results
Given it's only been 4 days since your procedure, it's still too early to know what your final result will be. I tell my patients that typically it takes about 6 weeks for 80-90% of the swelling to go away (sometimes quicker based on how much we're doing, but this is a good rough estimate) and then the last bit of swelling can take a few months longer. Give yourself some time to heal and then I would reassess at the 6 week mark.

Answer: People at or near their ideal weight usually need very little fat removed during liposuction
People at or near their ideal weight usually need very little fat removed during liposuction to contour their bodies. It is not the amount of fat in the jar, but the fat on the body that matters. It is also impossible to determine the results of a liposuction until several months after the procedure.
