Bloated look and soft abdomen after lipo

It is very common to have bruising and swelling for weeks to months after liposuction procedures. What is most important is that you follow your surgeons post operative instructions and continue compression. If you are concerned, lymphatic massage and Velashape or Venus Legacy treatments can be used to improve the swelling and help the skin tighten. My patients start treatments right away and it improves the long term results. Speak to your physician if you are concerned. Best, Dr. Emer.

I would suggest following up withyour surgeon to make sure you don't have a collection of fluid. You still are ealy in your healing ophase, and still have some swelling. Noninvasive procedures like massage or Velashape can also be helpful.

Results are typically final or close to final after three months. At eight weeks, you are close, though you may see minor changes over the next few months.Results after liposuction are typically determined by how good of a candidate the patient was and how well the procedure was performed. Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
