Nearly 3 months post op lipo. Will I see any improvement at all? (Photos)

November 6, 2016
Asked By:bbbrrr99 in Bellevue, WA

Hi! I had liposuction on my upper and lower abdomen on August 17th. The photo on the left was taken the night before the procedure and the photo on the left was taken 20 minutes ago. I was 126 pounds the day of surgery and I still weigh the same. I'm really not happy with the results and although I don't think it's possible, I was wondering if there's any chance I could still be swollen? Is it possible that I wasn't a good candidate for liposuction? Thanks for your help.

Answer: If your weight is not down at least by the amount of fat removed, then you've gained some weight.
