6 Days Post-op - No Results from Thigh Lipo. Is this Swelling?

At 6 days
post op after liposuction swelling is to be expected. The swelling will
decrease gradually after the procedure and can be noticeable for up to 3
months.  Liposuction does not always
provide an instant result so I caution my patients that their final result may
not be visible for 6 months to 1 year.  The
best thing you can do now to help the swelling resolve is to continue to wear
your compression garment.  I recommend that
all of my liposuction patients wear their compression garment 24 hours a day
for 6 weeks.  The garment not only helps
with the swelling it also helps the skin retract as much as possible.  If the swelling does not decrease or it seems
to increase see your plastic surgeon soon as possible.Be well and
good luck!@norrisplastic

Thank you for the question.

The  lateral thighs,  like every other area treated with liposuction surgery  may remain swollen for many months after the procedure.  At 6 days post op  It is much early to evaluate the results of the surgery. I tell patients it may take 6 months to a year for skin to redrape  completely.

I hope this helps.

Six days is too early after thigh liposuction to judge results. Typically I would advise waiting a minimum of three months.
