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.

Hello
Is important to know that each patient has an individual recovery
process and the inflammation process can last months. I recommend that
if you have any concerns consult your doctor.

Thank you for your question.  Liposuction surgery will lead to inches changed and less so to weight changes.  It can take several months to see the results as swelling and inflammation can lead to increased size and weight.  Be patient as your results will evolve over time. Best Wishes!

Thank you for your question. You are way, way too early in the post-operative period to tell your results. It will likely take 3-6 months for you to see your final results and a lot of time the amount of liposuction that is performed translates to a couple of pounds. You are holding on to fluid right now because your tissues are edematous due to the procedure. Continue the compression as instructed by your physician and just give things some time. Best of luck!
