So I had my first shower today, one day post-op like my doctor recommended. But I noticed after my shower I was more swollen? Is that normal? When is the worst swelling going to appear? And how fast will it fade? Thanks for any replies!

Answer: Swelling after liposuction 1st day This is completely normal and you are extremely early in the process. The amount of swelling you notice will really depend on your preop appearance, how much was suctioned and what area. The compression garment keeps the swelling down and when you take it off your tissues will swell. Depending on the factors mentioned above, it takes about 3 mos to see early results and 9-12 to see where you will ultimately be. This does vary from person to person as we all heal differently. If you have any concerns I would recommend talking to your surgeon about them. Best wishes on a great result.

Answer: Swelling after liposuction What you describe is typical.Expect maximum swelling over the next few days.Much of the swelling will dissipate over the next two weeks. By three months, your results will be close to final, and you can consider your results final at six monthsYou may also experience some lumpiness over the next month or so. This typically resolves over the next few months after that.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
