Answer: Most patients will see 90% of their ultimate liposuction results with in one to three months after surgery. Most patients will see 90% of their ultimate liposuction results with in one to three months after surgery. For the first few weeks after surgery there is postoperative swelling. The rate at which this swelling subsides depends on what surgical technique and method for postoperative care is used. Ultrasonic assisted liposuction (UAL) is associated with prolonged postoperative swelling. When the surgeon’s operative technique uses adits (round holes) that are left open, instead of linear incisions closed with stitches, patients can expect to see 90 % of the ultimate results within four weeks. When the surgeon closes the incisions with stitches, swelling usually resolves within 8 to 12 weeks.

Answer: Liposuction final results
I would say by 3-4 months you will be reaching the endpoint of seeing the final results. If at 7 months you are not happy you should re-evaluate your concerns. If it is your stomach region perhaps you needed muscle tightening in the first place to flatten the belly?
