Lipo has been a waste of money so far! Am I going to see results?

With hi definition procedures you see results immediately.  you will however get swelling and bruising that can last for weeks to months.  I suggest you speak to your physician if you are concerned but at this point you should be focusing on compression, massage, hyperbaric oxygen and RF treatments. Best, Dr. Emer.

Most patients will see some improvement immediately after liposuction although it is true that swelling can replace the volume of fat substantially. For now you should remain patient.

Great question. This is absolutely normal. 1 week is VERY EARLY. Swelling may easily last for 2 months before you notice any significant change. It generally takes up to 3 months to see the results of liposuction. Swelling and distension can all contribute to masking the result. Bruising is not a sign of poor results, patients have different ways of healing as well as different time period of healing.In my opinion, you are expecting too much in just 1 week post op. I generally advise my patients to wait at least 3-4 months to judge the results or to await for skin contraction.Discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
