Liposuction, will I get smaller? (photos)

Yes you will get smaller, you are still going down I would say up to 6 months after surgery.  Remember to  following your surgeons post op instructions as he knows you.

As the swelling decreases, you should continue to see improvement up to 6 months postop. Good luck for great results!

You still have swelling which can take 3-6 months to resolve. I recommend adding RF treatments externally like venus legacy, exilis ultra, Vanquish, shock/vibration therapy like Cellutone/z wave, hyperbaric oxygen and compression in order to decrease swelling and improve results.  Also using a waist trainer will help i have all my patients do that.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent surgery. The post - op swelling will slowly subside over the next three - six months.  You may wear a compression garment if you feel it helps. Please discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.

Thank you for your question and your photos.2 week is still to soon for concrete results, recovery can last at least 4-6 months before your totally post op.best of luck.

Congratulations on your procedure! At two-weeks post-op, you are still in the early stages of the healing process, so some swelling, bloating, or bruising should still be expected at this point. These symptoms should continue to gradually resolve themselves over the next weeks and months, revealing your final results. Keep in mind, though, that this can take up to 6 months. Thus, you can expect your figure to continue to slim down to more closely match your desired final outcome. Just be sure to maintain open communication with your plastic surgeon throughout the healing process to ensure a safe and smooth recovery and the best results possible.

Without even examining you or looking at photos I can tell you that at two weeks all patients have some swelling that will resolve.  How much is difficult to say but you can start judging your results after about six weeks with the understanding that subtle further improvement will occur in the liposuctioned areas up to six months after surgery.  Enjoy your results and good luck.
