Had liposuction again on my abdomen by the same doctor a yr and a half later. He did a great job the first time but I wanted an even smaller waist. This time around I have been EXTREMELY swollen. I’m 10days PO this time last time around I was already so tiny this time I’m like a ballon! Bigger than what I was when I started.it was done under general anesthesia both times. Everything was done the same!

Answer: Liposuction Recovery Diana. I appreciate your concern, however it is still early in your postoperative journey and you are most certainly still quite swollen. It can take as long as 4 to 6 months for all swelling to subside, so try to stay patient and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.
