I am frustrated I was a prime candidate for tumescent Lipo. I went to the father of tumescent lipo Dr. Klein himself... I am 5'3" and weighed 128 pre op. I weigh the same now. I had the procedure on my abs and flanks. My measurements are the same or down by maybe a 1/2". My jeans do NOT fit! It is INSANE! How is this possible if he took 3 lbs of fat out of my body.... I still have a pooch, and still have fat rolls (or muffin top) WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON!!??
Answer: Too early to judge outcome At six weeks it is so early after the surgery that what you are describing is normal. It takes 6 months to see the final results.

Answer: Healing May Take Up To 4 Months Following Liposuction It’s not unusual for patients to have significant swelling following tumescent liposuction. When patients have severe swelling following this procedure, it can be difficult to see the benefits of liposuction. In many cases, patients actually look worse immediately following the procedure for this reason. This swelling occurs for a variety of reasons including disruption of the lymphatic drainage and cellular injury in treated areas. In addition the body’s response to any type of injury is to retain fluid. This often results in significant weight gain in the immediate post-operative period. The majority of post-operative swelling resolves in 3 to 4 weeks, but it’s not unusual for swelling to persist 3 to 4 months in some cases. Compression garments, low salt diets, exercise and massage can facilitate resolution of swelling. It’s important to be patient and have good communication with your surgeon. Hopefully your surgeon can reassure you and formulate a plan that will help minimize your swelling.

Answer: Tumescent
You are likely still swollen from the procedure and if 3lbs of fat were removed, you will see the positive benefit in time. You need 6-8 weeks to see some improvement, and eventually 6-8 months. Dr. Klein is very good at what he does and you should be satisfied after all is healed. Thank you for your question and good luck with everything.

Answer: No results 6 weeks after liposuction
It is reasonable to be concerned but you may want to give it more time. Depending on liposuction technique and swelling, it takes up to 3-6 months to see results. Discuss this with Dr Klein at your next visit.

Answer: Swelling after liposuction
There are 2 points that need to be made. First you are very early after your liposuction and there is still quite a bit of swelling. Second, based on your pictures, you have some separation of your rectus abdominis muscle that is referred to as DIASTASIS RECTI. Liposuction can not fix your muscles, you may need to have your muscles tighten in the future to fix your "pooch".
