I was told I was a good canditate for lipo and would see significant results and change. 1 week out I still am pare shaped and my love handles are still very prominent. I know they say it takes months to see results, but I dont see how my stomach is going to change significantly from now until then. I still seem to have large areas of fat and my stomach is not even close to being flat. I had high hopes and I am now beginning to feel very discouraged. I got my surgery done at sono bello.

Answer: Waiting for results after liposuction.
Thank you for your question. It is very common for patients to be concerned about the final results of the liposuction procedure 1 week after surgery. You will likely have the maximal amount of swelling during this time as the body is going through the healing process. Although there are only small incisions made to perform you procedure, there is a lot of healing going on under the skin. Whenever healing is required, cells are sent to that area and fluid is the way the cells move from place to place within the body. Once the healing cells are no longer required, the swelling will significantly decrease. In addition, during your procedure, your surgeon most likely added fluid to the treatment area to prevent fluid shifts from occurring. This added fluid will also need to be eliminated by the body before you will see your results. Lastly, the skin tightening that occurs with Smartlipo takes 6 months and longer before the final tightening is achieved. I would suspect you will see a much larger difference 3 months after your procedure. I hope this helps. Best wishes!

Answer: How are your liposuction results now?
Your question just popped up for me, but it was posted nearly 7 months ago. You should have your final results now--how are they?
