I Don't See a Difference Yet, After Lipo & Mini Tummy Tuck

Just be patient.sometimes the swelling can take several months to resolve.I also tell patients that when it comes to lipo it is what you leave behind and not what you take out.Heat and massage may help.

All surgery is associated with swelling that will persist for several weeks. This may be the reason why your results are not as dramatic as you envisioned them. Another, less welcomed reason, COULD be that you had the wrong procedures. Many women ask for and unfortunately undergo a Mini Tummy Tuck instead of a Full Tummy Tuck. The procedures are NOT the same and do not produce equivalent results. THe swelling should subside sufficiently by 6 to 8 weeks for you to see which of these two scenarios is the case. In the meantime, cheer up and stay positive. All is not lost.
