How long does it take to see results from Liposuction of the inner, outer thighs and knee? (photo)

Question

would there be an slight improvement after surgery and decrease in inches as early as two weeks or would that be unrealistic.

Keith Hodge, MD · Answer

The final result can take up to three months, but you should certainly see some improvement in two weeks. Good luck!

David Hansen, MD · Answer

Liposuction takes 6 months to see the end results but even at 1 month you can usually see a significant improvement.

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

It is true that fat removed by liposuction is temporarily replaced by swelling. However seldom does it totally occupy all the volume. Almost all patients can see immediate improvement.

Charles Galanis, MD · Answer

Great question.  You may see some results as early as 2-3 weeks as the swelling begins to resolve.  I would withhold assessing the final result until at least 3 months however.  Good luck!

Tania Medina de Garcia, MD · Answer

Hello dear, thanks for your question, the removed fat by liposuction is temporarily replaced by swelling. The finished product of liposuction may not be observed for several months. Most of the significant swelling disappears in 4 to 6 weeks. However, an additional 20% or so will require longer to resolve. There is nothing the patient can do except wait. Compressive garments help somewhat but the biological forces at play follow their own time table. Be patient and wait until you can enjoy your results. Good luck :)

Ven Erella, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Usually about 3 months to see a difference because of swelling. But you will continue to see improvement from 3 weeks onwards and it will vary from person to person
