How long for swelling to resolve after lipo of lower back?

January 10, 2018
Asked By:lauravanny in Mill Valley, CA

I had lipo of my lower back in conjunction with a 360 lift. My surgeon warned me my lower back would be swollen for months. I'd like to hear the consensus as to what the average amount of time is for this area to resolve completely, and for me to see my final results? Two months later I have seen no improvement.
