On March 12th 2019 I had excision and lipo to my axillary breast tissue. I am truly devastated as I now have two short 1.5 inch scars in the front of my axilla however, the area is not flat. I also had lipo to the back of the axilla area as well. The issue is the results look worse than before the procedure. I understood I would have scars however, I thought that although I’d have scars the area would be flat. Should the area be flat? Is this the best result I can hope for?

Answer: Patience Required After Liposuction I appreciate your concern Nola, however your surgery was less than one week ago! It can take as long as 4 to 6 months for all swelling to resolve and skin to re-contour. Also scar maturation can take as long as one year before it settles down and fades completely. Try to stay patient and positive and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Liposuction Hello and thank you for the question and sharing your photos. It's too early in the recovery process. It can take several weeks to months for liposuction results to show. Additionally, surgical scars will mature and fade over many months. I would be more patient. Stay in close contact with your surgeon. I would delay any revision surgery until after several months from the time of the original surgery. Best,
