Back fat comes and goes after liposuction. Is this just swelling?

December 10, 2015
Asked By:atlcharm in Atlanta, GA

I'm hoping this is normal, somedays there is no back fat and other days I clearly see a small roll on each side. it does seem to coincide with my abdomen though, those are also the days were my abdomen appears more bloated than flat. I had my abdomen and back treated. I'm 8 weeks post-op. Is this just swelling? I haven't been able to pinpoint why some days I'm swollen and other days not. Thoughts?
