My hips are uneven and weren't before. I also have a very uneven lower belly now. It has been 7 weeks. I am worried.
Answer: Swelling from liposuction can persist for up to 6 months, and it can be uneven. At 7 weeks post-op, it’s still too early to tell if that will be your final result. Swelling from liposuction can persist for up to 6 months, and it can be uneven, where one side swells a bit more than the other. If you are still unhappy with your results after 6 months, follow up with your surgeon to discuss smoothing these irregularities. Sometimes a non-invasive treatment can correct subtle defects or a revision procedure can be done. It is also helpful to review your pre-operative photos. Sometimes there is a spinal curvature or other issue that might make one side different from the other and more difficult to correct. If this is the case, the surgeon should ideally point this out at the time of your pre-operative consultation so that you have realistic expectations. Good luck.

Answer: Liposuction You look like you have a nice change so far. You do look uneven in the photo, but many post op lipos look uneven for several weeks because the swelling goes away unevenly and this may all look great in another 6 weeks. Follow up with your surgeon.

Answer: Uneven hips and stomach after liposuction. What can I do? Give it a total of 6 months as it takes time for everything to settle and swelling to resolve. Then, if still an issue, discuss with your surgeon.
