No results 5 month post op lipo. Can someone tell me what is going on?

Question

I’m now 5 months post op lipo in the flanks, abdomen and back. My waist is actually bigger than before the surgery. I have been keeping my calories and carbs low and I have been eating a lot of fruit, veggies and proteins. Please, can someone tell me what is going on?

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Unfortunately, without pictures, it is very difficult to give you a proper answer.  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 :)

Thank you for your questions. It is hard to say why your waist is now bigger than before surgery without all of the details. Your best option would be to schedule an appointment with your Surgeon to discuss your concerns. Good Luck.
