Why do I look almost exactly the same 3 months after lipo? (Photos)

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. 

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.

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.
