Waiting is hard, but worth it

Tissue that has been traumatized by liposuction has a certain amount of stiffness or fibrosis for several months. In fact it will always be a little harder to do repeat liposuction in the same area. In order to allow the tissue to return to a more normal state I ask at least three months before doing any revision liposuction and maybe more if the tissue still feels stiff or firm.

In order to see the final result as to how much difference there is between the right and left side you will need at least three months to make an accurate comparison.

McCacgle,

I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon but you need to give at least 6-12 months of healing time before any attempt is made to re-treat an area of liposuction asymmetry.
