I am 9 months post op tummy tuck and 19 days post op abdominal liposuction. Did I mess up my results ? I was flat before I did the liposuction I just wanted to get more of a waist. Is this swelling ? Loose skin ? Missed fat? If it is missed fat how long do I have to wait to fix it
Answer: I'm 9 months post tummy tuck and 19 days post op abdominal liposuction. Did I mess up my results? Hello. Great question. Congratulations on your procedure. At 19 days you are still early in your recovery process. There is still swelling present. It can take up to 3-6 months for all the swelling to go down and see your final results. Keep following your surgeon's post op instructions.

Answer: Normal Post Liposuction Inflammation After abdominal liposuction, many patients experience a period of “lumpiness”. During the initial 6-8 weeks, you may “feel” firm inflammatory nodules, and by the end of the day, you can actually see them. This usually resolves within the first couple months, but can take 4-6 months for some patients. As long as the abdomen feels firm, you are experiencing postoperative inflammation and cannot truely evaluate your results. It will improve.

Answer: I'm 9 months post tummy tuck and 19 days post op abdominal liposuction. Did I mess up my results? Thanks for your question. Healing can take from 3 to 6 months usually, which is when you get to see the final results from the procedure. It's best to follow your surgeons specific advice post-operatively. I have my liposuction patients wear a compression garment (faja) covering all treated 24/7 except to shower for 4 weeks post op. This helps ontrol swelling as the compression on your tissues helps your body to reabsorb the edema fluid that accumulates in the tissues after any procedure. This can take quite some time to happen without help from the compression garments. It also helps improve contour. Compression helps to keep the tissues adherent to the underlying structures while healing, this can help prevent the wrinkled skin appearance that can happen when the tissues heal in ways we don't want them to.

Answer: Healing I really don’t believe that very many patients can “mess up their results” as I beleive most of the results occur in the operating room. What you are experiencing is normal swelling and postoperativehealing and based on your photos you will look fine but just give it time. If there is something that needs atttention then get re-evaluated at a year and see. That will give your body the time to get rid of the swelling and skin to heal.
