I read that I only had 350 ml removed from flank and outer thigh. Will that even produce a difference? (Photo)

Question

I had liposuction on flanks and outer thigh for fat transfer to Breast,is 350 ml enough to show?Should I go back for more.

Steven J. Rottman, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question and photographs. I think it is important to understand your goals of the surgery. Was it to liposuction enough fat to transfer to the breasts OR was it primarily to perform liposuction of the flanks and outer thighs and transfer some to the breast. This conversation needed to happen between you and your surgeon prior to the procedure. Either way, please follow up with your plastic surgeon to express your concerns.

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and series of photographs.  350cc is a modest amount of liposuction but as you are recently out from surgery your swelling from surgery is currently obscuring your final results.  I would voice your concerns to your surgeon, but allow yourself time to fully heal before entertaining any further work. This may take up to 6 months or more.  Hang in there!

If total was 350 cc's than most likely a very conservative removal>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
