Should I see much results after 800cc was removed from lower and upper abdomen?

Question

The first time i went for this procedure i had my lower back and side done not upper abdomen. I saw changes with my back and side but not with my lower abdomen. I was told i would have to do it again, i ended up doing my lower again and my upper abdomen. My doctor got 800cc of fat out. It didn't look like much. It has been almost 3 weeks and i look the same. I guess am not sure if 800cc is much to give me great results.

Whether 800 cc is enough to see a difference would depend on your size before surgery and the amount of fat in the area. This is particularly true because it was a touch up.

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

800 mL out of the upper and lower abdomen is about average. Whether or not this was enough fat is dependent upon how much was there in the first place.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

800 cc is a lot in some patients and not in others. It really depends upon your body habitus. In addition. you may still be very swollen.
