I had traditional liposuction to abdomen and flanks almost 8 weeks ago. I know it's normal to look a little uneven at first since I still have swelling. Is this looking normal so far?? I went to my dr 2 weeks ago and gave me a shot in my stomach. He's also 5 hrs away. I've also done a few lymphatic drainage massages and wear a garnent all the time. I'm just worried I'll need a revision or some thing.

Answer: Uneven result after lipo Your belly wall does appear to have some surface irregularities. I think it is too early to be overly worried. Yes, you may need some small touch-ups in the future. However in the mean time I would massage, massage, massage, I think over time ( months) you might be surprised in the improvement. Consider also wearing you garment as pressure helps to make scars better. Stick with you plastic surgeon and allow him / her to get you through this issue.Good LuckStephen M.

Answer: Uneven swelling At 8 weeks you are still too early to see your final results. Based on the photos you may have some uneven swelling at this point. I recommend vigorous massage to these areas to break up scar tissue and decrease edema. If the irregular contours do not smooth out, you may need a touch up. You should continue to follow the advice of your PS. Best of luck with your recover.
