I Has Smart Lipo May 2012; Abdomen and Upper Back Region Only. My Inner Thighs and Butcheecks Have Become Much Bigger Since then

I feel like the fluid that stayed in my body filled up in those places. Is that normal. The cusp area just above the vagina is also much larger than before the surgery. Just want to know if that's normal after lipo? I am disappointed and think I could have saved the $5000 to use on something more useful than sucking out fat to exchange with fluid. It was a waste of money

It would be helpful to know how much was removed and whether any weight was gained after the surgery.

Smart Lipo and Post Operative Swelling

It would be very unusual for you to still have swelling several months following a Smart Lipo liposuction procedure. The fact that some of this swelling is out side the areas you had liposuctioned may indicate that this problem is more a function of diet and exercise than the surgery that you had. Check back with your surgeon to see if there is anything further that they would suggest. Best wishes.

It is normal to have slight swelling up to 6 months post procedure. Be sure to wear the compression garment for the time period suggested by your doctor. Areas that were not performed on shouldn’t feel any larger than before your procedure.
