Answer: 3 days post op Hi Micheal,You trusted your surgeon to do your surgery, and my advice would be for you to trust him now that the procedure is completed. You are 72 hours post surgery and there is a lot of fluid that your surgeon likely used to extract the fat, in addition you likely have swelling etc. If you had ankle, knee or breast surgery you would not be critiquing your final results at 3 days and those same rules apply to liposuction. Be patients and follow your post op instructions your doctor gave you and re assess truly in 6 months. If you stare at the areas everyday you will drive yourself crazy.

Answer: Too Early Your surgeon was correct. Three days is too early to tell what your final results will look like. I would give it at least three months until you consider going back and seeing if there is any correction to be made. In most cases, the results settle and the tissue settles back into place. Best of luck!
