10 weeks post liposuction, Is this excess fat or edema? (Photos)

February 25, 2017
Asked By:Fabmom74 in Boston, MA

I had my first experience with Ultrasound assisted liposuction in June 2016. The contouring wasn't great and my surgeon suggested a revision which I had December 5th. So I am approximately 10 weeks out and this is what I look like. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Is this excess fat or edema? I still have major edema in the pubic area so I'm hoping this will resolve. What's wrong with me, I left the office with a beautiful flat stomach!

What surgery would be best for my backfat, smart lipo, liposuction? Around what would be the cost?
William J. Koenig, MD (retired) says:

You would see some improvement with liposuction but will not get rid of it completely.  A Bra Line Backlift would give complete resolution but there is a significant scar associated with that procedure.  See a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience in this area.
