3 months since I got lipo. My stomach is the size of a watermelon

Thank you for your questions. Sorry to hear you are having problems. Without an exam and some more info it is hard to give proper advice. I would suggest you return to your plastic surgeon for an exam and discussion of your concerns.Best of luck!

Dear Trace1234567,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

This is difficult to answer without pictures, but this doesn't sound typical. I recommend following up with your surgeon. You may have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. 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. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Without photos and an examination, it is impossible to provide you with an opinion regarding your situation. My recommendation for you is to discuss your concerns with your surgeon. You may also want to obtain a second opinion from a reputable board certified plastic surgeon in your area.Steven Turkeltaub, MD 

Hi Trace1234567,
Sorry to hear that you are so uncomfortable. In our practice, we have our liposuction patients wear a garment for 6 weeks post op to help control the swelling and to promote proper healing. Please be sure to follow your surgeons post op instructions, as I'm sure you are doing.
The things you are describing regarding your discomfort after you eat sounds like possible stomach or gastrointestinal discomfort. You may want to consult your primary physician and discuss the need for a gastrointestinal specialist to assess your situation.
Good luck and hope you feel better soon!
