90 days after lipo: is this swelling permanent? (Photos)

If the swelling hasn't completely subsided by the end of 3 months one must consult with their surgeon to make sure there is no need for a touch up or a revision. I'm not sure if u will see any additional improvement after 3 months

In my experience, once you have reached the 3 month point there is not much change. I would suggest you talk to your surgeon and see what he thinks.

Thanks for your question -

In our Bay Area practice we perform liposuctions frequently.  Most of the time patients see a significant difference within the first month but final improvement can take 6 months to a year to realize.

It can be challenging but additional time is the key here.

 

I hope this helps.

    It can take 6 months or more for swelling to resolve following liposuction.  I would give it some more time.   In addition, the volume removed was small, and, as such, the improvement will be more subtle.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Usually by 3-4 months the majority of swelling will go down.  You should give it 2-3 more months. If concerned, then talk to your surgeon.

You looked fine before the liposuction and you look better now. You will not get a drastic improvement since you are in good shape.

Thanks very much for your question.  You likely will not see a significant amount of reduction in swelling at this point.  

While it is true that much of the swelling after liposuction goes away over the three months following you procedure, you will likely continue to see some changes over the next three months as well.  If you have some concern, you should discuss it with your surgeon.

Appears you have an improvement. If it is not to your satisfaction than you need to discuss with your chosen surgeon. 

After 90 days, you should have a pretty good idea of what the result will be. Without photos, its hard to say if 400 grams is a little or a lot. Make sure you compare before and after photos because sometimes you dont realize the improvement until you see the photos. If there really is minimal difference, then another lipo treatment may be beneficial.
