I got liposuction 2 months ago on my back and stomach. About 1,5 l of fat was removed. I m 5 ft tall....but there is no result. I look pretty much exactly the same. I don't want to be a complaining patient to my surgeon, but should I be concerned? Is this just swelling that will go away? I m not tender or sore or anything.
Answer: No result of liposuction 2 month post op? Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, it cannot be answered since you did not post preop and postop photos. "Pretty much exactly the same" are not terms that can be evaluated or given meaningful answers to. Please post some photos. Thank you.

Answer: 2 months post-op from liposuction and no result Thank you for your question. Posting your pre and post op photos along with your pre and post op weight would be helpful to better answer your inquiry. At 2 months you are still early and by 3 months you should see your final result. At this point you should really notice something. I would suggest following up with your surgeon and discussing your concerns. They should have taken pre-op photos so they should take more at your visit to compare. It is not uncommon patients "forget" what they looked like before surgery. Additionally I always weigh my patients the morning of surgery. Your surgeon probably did as well. Have them re-weigh you. If weigh more than your pre-op weight, diet and exercise to get you back to your pre-op weight or lower should reveal your results. Follow up with your surgeon. Best of luck.

Answer: No results at two months The most simple answer to your question is that your lack of results are either because you were not a good candidate for liposuction, your procedure was not done well or a combination of both. At two months your results should be very close to final. Do not expect any significant improvements from here on. Expertise in the field of liposuction allows an expert body contouring specialist to not only master the techniques of liposuction but also to master the ability to predict who will get a good result, who will not and how to differentiate and explain this accurately to each and every patients before the procedure. Be strong, Confront your plastic surgeon and express your disappointment. Ask him or her why the results are not more impressive. Ask if you were or were not a good candidate for procedure and why this was or was not explained before the procedure. If not enough it was removed then consider asking for a revision. You could consider getting a second opinion from another board-certified plastic surgeon before confronting your plastic surgeon about your discontent. Best, Mats Hagstrom M.D.
