Is this swelling 6 months post op? (Photo)

Changes in the appearance of your body after liposuction can occur as part of the normal healing process. It's not uncommon to experience some fluctuations in the months following the procedure due to factors like swelling, fluid retention, and the redistribution of remaining fat cells.

A lymphatic massage can help with fluid drainage and may improve the overall appearance, but it may take time for your body to fully settle into its post-surgery state. It's essential to maintain regular communication with your plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and any noticeable changes in your results.


I hope this helps,
best of luck !

An increase in swelling 6 months postoperatively is unusual. More common issues that may affect the ongoing result of your tummy tuck include weight gain or a loosening of the sutures used to tighten the rectus (six-pack) muscles. The would particularly be the case if absorbable sutures were used to tighten your muscles. Regardless of what is going on in your particular case, you should follow up with your surgeon to discuss your concerns. If that is not an option, you should schedule with a qualified plastic surgeon to assess your situation and discuss the options for improving your abdominal contour.
