I know it's early after my liposuction (after one week), but I think too much was taken from one side. It appears that there is a dent on one side, while the other side is straight. Will massage help this? What can be done if it does not resolve by itself? I know I was not completely symmetrical before the surgery, but I was hoping that the surgery would help this, not accentuate it. I spoke with my surgeon about this beforehand, but it seems something went slightly wrong during surgery..

Answer: Asymmetrical after liposuction Remember the fuller side likely required a bit more suctioning which means more postoperative swelling. I agree your pictures look great. Try not to look everyday. It's like watching a baby grow. You don't notice day to day changes, but after a month- wow!

Answer: Swelling after liposuction
Swelling can be asymmetrical. The body isn't symmetrical so more fat could have been removed from one side than the other, producing more swelling. You may sleep more on one side than the other. It is way too early to worry about this. If, after you recuperate, there is a discernible difference, your plastic surgeon can certainly perform a minor revision. I would not rush to judgment prematurely and assume that anything untoward occurred during the procedure. The early result looks quite good-a substantial improvement.
