Liposuction, will I get smaller? (photos)

Question

I got liposuction it's been 2 weeks so far I'm happy with my results but I am wondering if I am going to get any smaller . My waist now is 29 inches and hips 42 (had bbl and hip fat transfer) . I am grateful for my new figure but I am still hoping to get smaller . I barely had any bruising after lipo but there is still a little stiffness in certain abdominal areas . Would it be possible to lose a couple of more inches ? Or is this as good as it gets ?. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds

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.
