I had a tummy tuck with liposuction of ten areas. However my love handles look as if they have not been touched. The doctor tells me this is swollen and will go away with time. I see no difference as the time goes on. I am 8 weeks post op. Also will my belly button stay this big and open?
Answer: Love handles You are still early and healing very well. With more time your scar even your belly button will heal nicely. Your waist appears narrower and more defined as well. Congratulations!

Answer: Still too early Liposuction in 10 areas and a tummy tuck is a big procedure with a relatively long recovery. Give it more time. You will notice improvements each month as your continue to recover. The bulges and irregularities will smooth and improve with time. Continue following your docs instructions. Best of luck.- Dr. Bryson Richards

Answer: Swollen love handles after tummy tuck with liposuction. Will this change in time? I must agree with you! If after 8 weeks you still see no improvement than you must consider that you need more liposuction. Understand if you had surgery in an office surgery center than ONLY 1 liter of fat could or should have been removed under Florida Board of Medicine Rule that "limits" the removal of fat by liposuction when combined with another surgery, i.e. a Full Tummy Tuck. Maybe you had 1 liter removed from other areas? Best to ask your chosen surgeon this. Anyway you will need more lie surgery. Sorry. BTW why is your incision unloved? and YES the bb will appear like this. Again sorry.

Answer: Substantial swelling persists for many weeks after abdominoplasty. Everything disagreeable about your appearance at the moment can be explained by swelling. Remain patient and stay in touch with your surgeon.
