How long does it usually take to see results after power assisted lipo, such as microaire?

Question

I recently had microaire liposuction done on my chest, abdomen and love handles.

Tyler Angelos, MD, FACS · Answer

The power assisted liposuction device, when used properly, is an excellent tool to help achieve maximum results. Like other types of liposuction, there will be a lot of initial swelling. The bulk of this swelling will subside by ~6 weeks but there may be small amounts of swelling still present for up to 6 months. Hope that helps!

As with all liposuction , it takes 3-6 months to see your final results. PAL is no different than other forms of liposuction in that respect. It just takes time for the swelling to resolve. Dr Crabtree

I use PAL all the time. It is an excellent instrument to use for liposuction. Like other techniques,  most swelling will subside in about 4-6 weeks but there will be residual swelling for several months afterwards.

Thank you for your question. How quickly you can see your results depends on where you started and how much you had done. In general, there is significant swelling for a few weeks. After that the results should start becoming apparent. Final results can take months to appreciate. Good luck.

nickswano,Except for areas of minimal proposed change, there is usually significant improvement apparent by 2 weeks post-op when much of swelling is resolved after liposuction. However it generally takes 12-15 weeks to see the final outcome from liposuction as internal scar compaction occurs, further compressing the outcome result in treated areas.  I hope that this helps.
