Shouldn't I Atleast see minimal changes after the second week? (Photos)

Question

I had my lipo done two weeks ago. I'm feeling very discouraged as if I wasted all my savings. I fully understand that it takes up to 6 months to see final results. It's been two weeks. I feel much bigger than I was before. I am breathing heavier suggesting sudden weight gain all after laser lip. I see no changes whatsoever. All the doctors I went to prior to my surgery made me so excited. They told me I was already curvy and this would enhance it. I don't see any curves

Hello,

There can be significant swelling  two weeks after liposuction and results may not be visible yet. Some individuals retain fluid and feel heavy but you should consult with your surgeon to determine the cause of your "heavy breathing".  When large bulges are removed, results are apparent more quickly as opposed to fine contouring. At 4-6 weeks you should appreciate the results, although they are not final until about 8 weeks.

Warm regards,

At two weeks post-op, you are likely very swollen.  You have to give it time to heal and settle down. Most swelling will usually go away by about 6-8 weeks.
