Answer: Post-Op Healing Hello and thank you for your question!You are still in the very early stages of healing. Swelling can last up to six months. While based on your pictures you seem to be healing normally, be sure to bring up all concerns with your surgeon. Best of luck!

Answer: Very swollen 2 weeks post op BBL and not seeing results, is this normal? (photos) Most of the swelling subsides at 6 weeks in most patients, but this may require 6 months or more. After 6 weeks the fat has revascularized, and you have a very good idea of your final results.Continue to wear your compression garment if required for four more weeks; limit your salt consumption, and drink no alcohol. I recommend that my patient take 100 grams of protein (protein shakes work well) per day in the healing phase for the first 6 weeks after surgery.

Answer: Very swollen 2 weeks post op BBL and not seeing results, is this normal? Thank you for your question. Swelling in the first couple of weeks after liposuction is quite common. It's best to follow your surgeons specific advice post-operatively. We typically have our patients wear compression garments on the areas we did liposuction to help the skin and underlying tissues re-adhere as well as reduce swelling. There is a process of swelling and bruising that peaks at 3 days after surgery and then undergoes the first stage of major resolution in the first 2 weeks after surgery. The later phase of healing takes place over the 2-3 months after surgery where everything really settles and softens. It is after this time that we are getting close to the final result, though this varies patient to patient. I have my liposuction patients wear a compression garment (faja) covering all treated 24/7 except to shower for 4 weeks post op. This helps ontrol swelling as the compression on your tissues helps your body to reabsorb the edema fluid that accumulates in the tissues after any procedure. This can take quite some time to happen without help from the compression garments. It also helps improve contour. Compression helps to keep the tissues adherent to the underlying structures while healing, this can help prevent the wrinkled skin appearance that can happen when the tissues heal in ways we don't want them to.

Answer: SWELLING After an extensive liposuction and fat transfer patients may swell in different degrees. It is not uncommon to have inflammation 2 weeks after the procedure. Continue the guidelines given by your surgeon. As time passes inflammation improves, but 2 weeks after patients may still have considerable swelling. Hope this helps
