Liposuction results for small amount of fat removal. 1 week ago post 4.5 lbs lipo’d from my flanks, belly and thighs.

It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

1 week is too early to expect results. Swelling can take months to resolve on its own and until then, you won’t be able to fully see the results. It’s important that you are following your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions to ensure the best results. We recommend scheduling a follow up appointment with your surgeon to further discuss your concerns. 

It usually takes a full 6 months to see your final results. However, some individuals have faster healing rates and would see their results even before 6 months. You may still be experiencing persistent swelling. Your appearance would still improve over the coming months.
