Hey, I had lipo 4 weeks ago and now I'm looking in the mirror and one side is much bigger ! Is this normal could it be from swelling. I'm getting scared
Answer: Asymmetry after liposuction 4 weeks is too early as there may be temporary swelling on one side. I think a minimum of 3 months is more prudent. Some would say 6 months.

Answer: Healing process The lumpiness, swelling, itching and hardness after a surgery like you had typically persists at least 8 weeks after the surgery then slowly goes away. In my experience, daily massage of the hard areas makes the biggest difference in getting rid of it sooner rather than later. It can easily take 6 months or more to see results. Be sure to keep any scheduled follow up appointments you have with your surgeons for his evaluation and advice. Hope this helps.
