I've heard it can take up to a year to see final liposuction results. Does anything I do now (3mo post-op) affect final results?

Thank you for your question!Swelling post-lipo can persist for months, so it's important to be on the right after-care protocols. I recommend following up with your physician about their suggested after care protocol. I have my patients wear compression for 3 to 6 weeks straight then overnight for 3-6 months after their procedure. I suggest 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; truSculpt iD, Exilis, Forma, and Venus Legacy for additional skin tightening; and Cellutone / ZWave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. 
It will take 6 to 12 months to see the final outcome.  For scar improvement suggest using medical grade skin care such as Scar Management 100% Silicone Gel found emeragecosmetics.com.  Ultimately, if you are unhappy with your results, please speak to your physician and ensure that he/she was a full body VASER Hi-Definition liposuction physician with extensive experience in contouring and body shaping -- and not just traditional fat reduction. You can always get a revision procedure by an expert if needed. Best, Dr. Emer
