Wait at least 4 months before you have revision liposuction.

Repeat liposuction in same area

I always advise patients that the final result may not be ascertainable for several months so don't rush into a second surgery. A revision to correct asymmetry or remove additional fat can always be undertaken. if liposuction of an adjacent area is needed, there would be an additional fee but corrections brought to my attention shortly after surgery are included in the original fee as followup care.

Wait at least 3-6 months before second Liposuction on same area

Hello, A seroma with liposuction is unusual and may affect your outcome. If more liposuction will be helpful (and this is not always,) I would wait 3-6 months. What does your doctor say?
