Micro Lipo on my Neck 3 Weeks Ago and There's Still No Change? (photo)

Question

My surgeon told me that i would see results at 1 month but that is only a week away so i don't see how this is going to change that much in that time. The day after the procedure i liked the result and took pictures 2 days later but since then it has been getting worse and is now the same if not worse than before i had it done. I'm really upset and depressed about this as i have paid almost £3,000 for nothing. can anyone help?

The difference between 2 days and 3 weeks is so small I would call it insignificant. If the 3 week result looks like the preop as you say it is obvious why it is micro liposuction. In that case you wasted your time and your money and no surgeon should have done the surgery because no surgeon on earth will make you happy.

	My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.

Thank you for the question and pictures.

	At three weeks post op,  it is still too early to see the final results of your liposuction surgery.  It will be several more weeks for all of the &ldquo;swelling&rdquo; to resolve and several more months (up to a year) for the skin to redrape completely.

	I would suggest continued follow-up with your plastic surgeon (and patience).

	Best wishes.

If you liked it two days after this is where it will end up. Have you been wearing a compression garment.  You have normal swelling and must be patient.

Thanks for posting the photos. Micro lipo can ONLY give very micro results. I would be very upset as you are. Seek second opinions.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Liposuction of the neck can be very rewarding.  Since you are only a few weeks post-surgery, it is too early to predict the final result.  GIve it  more time.
