I had liposuction on August 2, 2018 and it's been over 3 months now and I look almost exactly the same. Did I waste my money?
Answer: Liposuction Recovery bunsynoodle. I appreciate your concern, however it can take as long as six months for complete recovery after liposuction. This includes reduction of all swelling and skin retraction. Try to stay patient and positive and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Liposuction results Hang in there! We advise our patients to give it anywhere from three to six months to see the full results post liposuction procedure. After six months, if you still are unhappy, I would advise you to follow up with your surgeon. Good Luck!

Answer: No Change After 3 Months? You may still see changes in the next 3 months. If you still feel there is no change, have a discussion with your surgeon and compare before and after pictures. Good luck!

Answer: Why do I look almost exactly the same 3 months after lipo? Thank you for your question. You're still in the healing process. Healing after liposuction is usually pretty straight forward. There is a process of swelling and bruising that peaks at 3 days after surgery and then undergoes the first stage of major resolution in the first 2 weeks after surgery. The lateer phase of healing takes place over the 2-3 months after surgery where everything really settles and softens. It is after this time that we are getting close to the final result, though this varies patient to patient.

Answer: Why do I look almost exactly the same 3 months after lipo? Without knowing all the details of the procedure, as well as pre-op photos- it's difficult to give the best answer. Liposuction is not a weight loss operation. It is best to arrive at ideal weight first prior to undergoing body connoting procedures. It appears that you may be a candidate for an abdominoplasty.

Answer: Results After Liposuction Hello, thank you for your question. I'm sorry you're not seeing the results you wanted to. You may still get there! I advise my patients that it can take 3-6 months to see the full results of liposuction, although there is usually a nice change after a couple weeks once the initial swelling has subsided. I would suggest going back to your surgeon and seeing what he or she says. If you are not happy with the answer, it is never wrong to get a second opinion from another board certified plastic surgeon.
