Question

Did the doctor not take enough fat on one side?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Hello. Great question. Congratulations on your procedure. At 3 days post op you are very early in your recovery process. There is still a lot of swelling present. Swelling can misguide the result of your procedure. Be patient, keep following your surgeon's post op instructions.

Miguel Delgado, MD · Answer

At 3 days post op it is too soon to see your results. You will have swelling for several weeks yet. Try to be patient but talk to your surgeon about your concerns. Good luck.

N. Bill Aydin, MD · Answer

Hi, Thank you for your post. It is hard to tell from your photos but you are still in the beginning stages of healing and you are going to see a lot of swelling and changes over the next few weeks. It is way too soon to start evaluating your results. Just be patient and allow your body to heal. At about 3 months you will have a better idea of what your results will look like. If you have any questions or concerns follow up with your plastic surgeon.

Michael Zwicklbauer, MD, FACS · Answer

You are in the acute swelling of liposuction so it's very hard to evaluate treatment at this early stage. Usually it will take several weeks for the swelling to subside and to See final results almost 3 months. Of Course discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon on your follow up visit

Ajaya Kashyap, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. This is way too early to start evaluating the results. There is a lot of swelling at this time which will go down over the next several weeks. You should, ofcourse, voice your concerns when you see your plastic surgeon for a follow up.All The Best !
