I started at 32” before the surgery and now I’m at 33” at 2 weeks post op. I also got j plasma which I hope will help. Feeling a little discouraged. I’m not sure if it’s still fat or swelling
Answer: How many inches can I expect to lose after swelling goes down after lipo 360? This is impossible to answer without an exam. You would need the maximum of 5 liters removed from around the waist to get at least a 4 inch reduction. In some, I can get 6 inches or slightly more.

Answer: 2 Weeks Post Op Liposuction You are very early in your recovery. It can take 6 months or more for all of the swelling to resolve. Be sure to follow all post operative instructions. Good luck.

Answer: Swelling Concerns Hello, and thank you for your inquiry. It is important that you know you it is going to take time before you see dramatic changes you were hoping for. Liposuction is one of the most difficult surgeries for patients to see results from immediately, as you are swollen for quite some time and everyone heals at different rates. Some people see a dramatic decrease in swelling after 4 weeks, some take 3 months. Try not to get discouraged, the best thing you can do is follow your surgeons post op instructions carefully and wear your compression garment religiously to assist in getting rid of the swelling.

Answer: Liposuction results Dear getittight, liposuction removes fat tissue under your skin so you should lose some inches, but it is impossible to tell how much you will lose. I suggest you to follow your surgeon's instructions for best recovery and best results.

Answer: How many inches can I expect to lose after swelling goes down after lipo 360? 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. If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon. Good luck :)
