Hello - I'm planning on lipo in my stomach, flanks and bra bulge. I did it 13 years ago, and really didn't love the results. Although, I want to do it again to look better in my wedding dress. I'm nervous considering I wasn't all that happy with my choice the first time around. The original lipo doc missed a few spots that could use a touch-up as well. Will I be unswollen enough in 2 months to make it worth it? Again - My goal is to have a trim waistline and look amazing in my dress. Thank you.

Answer: Liposuction Recovery Recovery will vary from patient to patient and procedure to procedure. The majority of swelling typically resolves in the first 2 months. However, patients will not reach a plateau until 4-6 months post-operatively. Subtle changes will continue over this period.With regards to your specific situation, as long as you are not undergoing a significant contouring procedure your major swelling will likely have resolved by 2 months post op.A word of caution: complications are unpredictable. While unlikely, you schedule does not much of a margin of error. Thus there is an inherent risk of undergoing a procedure in such close proximity to an important event.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
