I had lipo a week ago and three days. Of my upper hips and flanks. You can tell one hips is higher than the other . will this get better with time?
Answer: Asymmetry is fairly common shortly after liposuction. Due to asymmetric swelling contour asymmetries may exist after liposuction. These will slowly improve as healing continues.

Answer: Too early to tell At one week after liposuction there still can be a sizable amount of swelling which could account for the asymmetry. It may take a few months to see the final result of liposuction.

Answer: Lipo As with any surgery, time is needed to heal. I would never assume that something is uneven at 10 days post op. Lipo needs at least 4-6 weeks to heal from the dwelling. Then differences can be discussed. Plus hte difference you are concerned about is only minor based on your pictures and should even out, if possible, over time. We are never 10% symmetrical from side to side anyway.

Answer: Hip asymmetry after liposuction Many people have asymmetries of their bodies, and your before photos may demonstrate this. This may or may not be correctable with liposuction. if your hip bones are the reason for this, it likely won't change. You just had surgery, so there is swelling still present. It may take 3-6 months before you see the final result. Discuss this with your surgeon

Answer: Hips and lipo Everyone's hips are asymmetric do to the curvature of the spine and the height of each leg. The results look nice at this point, best to give it more time.
