I'm having full trunk liposuction with fat transfer/grafting to my hips. Will my skin bounce back?

dreamingkaliAug 10, 2016
My surgeon doesn't want to go too flat on my stomach because he's afraid the skin might not bounce back as well. He examined my muscles and stated that they were still close. I was about 30 pounds lighter last year and my stomach looked amazing considering. Is it fair to assume if I went almost flat with the liposuction my skin would do the same as when I was thinner? I'm pretty conflicted. He says it might sag, but I know I want it to be flat. Other opinions would be nice. Thanks!

It's a good question and understand your frustration. However you are still very early after your procedure. Swelling after liposuction can last 3-6 months. You will not be able to judge your final result for 6-9 months. I would discourage you from considering a revision procedure at this time. ...

Cost is dependent on the type of procedure, what techniques are used, if there is fat grafting or surgery at same time and the expertise / skill of the physician.  Please see an expert in 4D VASER contouring for the best outcomes. Dr. Emer.

Hi, thank you for your question. Compression garments needs to be worn at all times during your first 6 weeks of recovery. The compression garment is important for support and to reduce swelling. Although removing the garment may not cause too much harm, having no garment for long time...
