Discouraged by Lipo Swelling, Will It Go Down? It's Been 4 Weeks.

Any type of liposuction is going to cause swelling in the area that was treated.  This swelling may take several months to fully correct and contour to the final result.  If you liked the results in the early days after surgery there is a very strong chance this is what your final result will look like.  Be patient and follow up with your doctor so he can examine you to be sure there is no underlying bleeding or fluid collection.

It can be discouraging when delayed swelling occurs. Most of the swelling will be gone in 2-3 weeks, but some firmness can last for a couple of months. You can assess your results at about the three or four month mark. You can try massaging the area with your surgeon's advice. Just keep following your surgeon's post-surgery care instructions to help facilitate your recovery. 

please give it some time.  liposuction is tremendous blunt trauma to the body. it takes a long time to see the final results.  you are still early in the recovery process. wear your support garments and be patient

If you liked the results just after surgery, then more than likely you are experiencing swelling. Commonly it can last several months.  Give it time.

Hi.

The sequence of event you describe is most unusual.  If the swelling you describe is localized, you could have had some bleeding.  See your surgeon right away.
