2 months post op, can I get lipo on the same area?

Question

I had a TT with MR 11 months and Two months ago I went back for more lipo on my tummy. I think one side was left with more fat then the other. I am very very unhappy with my results and it’s messing with my emotions and making me depressed. Could I get it fixed even know I am only two months post op? I know it’s not swelling because it’s jiggly and it hasn’t change in size As the other selling goes away this looks worse

You should wait at least 6 months before having further surgery to see what your final result will be. Follow all post op instructions and discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Good luck.

If any of the areas overlap that you want to be liposuctioned, wait 6 months.  If the areas do not overlap, this can be done at any time. Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation is normal.I would recommend to wait six months between surgeries, but remember that all depends on your health and lab tests.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

Andreas Ioannides, MD · Answer

None Plastic Surgeon or any surgeon will suggest so early post-op reoperation  especially for liposuction. If you do that you increase the possibilities of irregularities and asymmetrical removal fat. 
I suggest to wait at least six months  necessary period of inner healing and the plastic surgeon will know more accurately where he or she will interfere with liposuction.

my recommendation is to not have a revision with in the first six months of the areas you had liposuction.  This is not a matter of swelling but rather a scar tissue maturation.  Going in prematurely next procedure much more difficult for the surgeon.  In order to get the best results you should wait at least six months before considering a revision. Poorly done liposuction can be difficult to correct. As long as you were not over treated then improvements can generally be made with revision liposuction.  Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
