Hello, I have a Bachelorette party to attend 1 month after my surgery and a wedding to attend 2 months after surgery. Will I look thinner than I did before my surgery for these two events? (liposuction on arms, thighs, abdomen, flanks, back, neck, as well as breast lift + implants)

Answer: Liposuction Timing Hello 'Sweetfree', thanks for your question. Yes, the goal of liposuction is to remove excess fat in order to achieve a more toned, thinner look. However, it is a surgery that will require some recovery time, and if you really wanted to perform liposuction in all those areas including a breast augmentation with lift, then one month may not be enough time for all the postop swelling and bruising to fully go away. You should also have a full evaluation by a board-certified plastic surgeon to make sure that you are a good candidate for these procedures, or if you will require something else to achieve your goals. It may be best to stage these procedures in order to avoid a situation where you are still healing while attending these wedding events. If you are interested in further discussing your options, as well as best timing for staging your procedures (or not), please give my office a call for a free consultation. Good luck!-Dr.Go

Answer: Swelling after lipo Most patients do notice a considerable difference within the first 3-4 weeks after surgery. There will definitely still be some level of swelling present and this is dependent on your body's own healing, your garment, and your daily diet/activity level. Discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon who can give you advice on ways to speed up and optimize the recovery process. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD Plastic Surgery
