Will my love handles disappear after I heal? I had lipo/BBL 5 days ago. (Photo)

Question

My love handles was one of the main reasons for surgery, but I still see them. Is it because I'm still swollen, will it go away or will I have to undergo revision??! I'm extremely worried and concerned. I've seen plenty of pics were ppl loose the rolls immediately. Please help.

Thank you so much for sharing your concerns with us. You do not have to worry, always something can be done. five days after liposuction and BBL it's not enough to express a valid opinion of finals results. I recommend you to keep follow up your PS post up advises.Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Dear BlackHispanic,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a BBL surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process at 5 days  post op.
Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.
At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

It is very difficult to assess final outcome so early after surgery with all of the swelling and bruising.  It will take months before you can appreciate the result.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Hello Dear.Thanks for your question and provided information as well.I have to say that you are still early on healing process, it is too soon to determine how your results are going to be, swelling  is normal at this moment.  I recommend you to wait and keep using your post surgical garment.Good Luck.-

Thanks for posting your picture. It is still to early to judge results. Also , every patient is different on their recovery.  Swelling starts going down at two weeks post op. Be patient. Also , your love handles look ok , the upper rolls still look very swollen. Best wishes.
