I see no difference 7 weeks post lipo, is it normal? (photos)

No, this isn't your final result. You most likely have swelling which will resolve in 3-6 months. I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. If you wanted more contouring you need to see a VASER HI DEF body contouring expert.  Best, Dr. Emer

Swelling after liposuction can be persist for up to 6 months or longer.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

It is hard to see much in your photos, but they are not standardized with the postoperatively being closer to the camera and more magnified. At this point, I would recommend waiting another 3 to 4 months to be sure that all of your swelling is gone then re-evaluate your results. If unchanged, I suspect a tummy tuck will be a better option than repeated liposuction. 

Thank you for your question and sharing your photos. It is way to early to start worrying about your final result. It takes a few months to see the final result. You still may have some swelling as well. Give it some time before you start analyzing results. Best of luck!Dhaval M.

Sorry about your disappointment; I do see some improvement but it appears to me that the benefits of liposuction and its realistic possibilities in you was not discussed in detail pre-operatively. I would have recommended a full tummy tuck with liposuction in your case. You need muscle tightening and excess skin removal to give you a flat abdominal contour.

Thank you for sharing your questions and photographs and congratulations on your procedure.  Swelling after liposuction will mask your long-term results for several weeks to months after the procedure.  Though I see definite improvement in your appearance you need to allow at least six months to pass before assessing your results.  Hope this helps.

Hi and thanks for the question and photos. You can expect to have firmness, swelling and some lumpiness for approximately 16 weeks after liposuction. After that your can start to appreciate your final results. So give it some more time and your results should improve significantly. Best of Luck - Dr. Hardy...

Thank you for your question. It is early to talk about results. There is some difference before and after. Usually takes few months to see the final results. I recommend you to follow instructions from your PS and re evaluate in 4 months.
