Today is 9 months after my liposuction. Is this area of my stomach ever going to improve (still swollen?) or are these abs? They are hard underneath but folding when I sit down.I have been doing massages forever.
Answer: Nine months post op At nine months post op swelling has resolved and it is unlikely that you will notice further changes. Your photos demonstrate nice abdominal contours. I encourage you to discuss any concerns you have with your surgeon as she/he is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery.

Answer: 9 month after liposuction and still swollen, will this improve? Hello @cantstopwontstop, thank you for your question and showing you pictures. It is important to take into account several aspects among which is the surgical technique applied, and to evaluate if there is something else at a systemic level to make you still swollen. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez, MD FACS.

Answer: Area around stomach You are essentially at your final outcome at this point. It appears that you had high-definition liposuction, trying to highlight your abdominal muscles. With significant removal of the fat, the underside of the skin can scar down to the muscles, creating abnormal tethering or creases. It is a difficult problem to address and may involve a combination of trying to fill the creases with fat and removing the surrounding fat.
