I dont see any difference I am 5 weeks op. I wear compression band almost all the time I lost weight no result showing I am attaching pic of fat removed does this look like 100ml? Fat and is it enough? For my chin.
Answer: Give it time The volume of fat that is removed during Smartlipo of the area under the chin is always very small compared to other parts of the body. Numbers like 100cc are very common. It can take a few months before you can see what you will ultimately look like long term, so try to be patient.

Answer: Hard to tell It is hard to tell how many cc of fat are in that canister. Based on your pictures, 100 cc of fat from the neck would be a lot of fat. At 5 weeks you are still healing and lymphatic massages and ultrasound can help decrease the swelling and residual fluid in the neck. Final results take about 6 months. Be patient, also, request pre op pics. I often find that patients dont often remember what they looked like before the procedure.

Answer: Smart Lipo Result Thank you for your question. Though you are 5 weeks out from surgery, that is still relatively early in the healing process from liposuction as swelling can remain for even several months. And in terms of the neck, I would not focus too much on the absolute volume removed, as it is a small compartment. The disruption of the fat combined with the energy will allow the skin to redrape, but this also can take several months. I recommend following up with your surgeon to further discuss your concerns. Hope that helps. Take care.

Answer: Some fat is not in the container When doing Smartlipo some of the fat is liquified and oozes out through the incision during the procedure as an oil. Thus the amount of fat seen in the canister is less than the actual amount of fat treated. You are correct that this canister shows bloody tumescent fluid in addition to fat so certainly there is not 100cc of fat in the container but that doesn't necessarily mean there wasn't more taken out. I don't know the details of your procedure, what kind of laser was used and at what settings so it is impossible to really give a comment but I would go back to your surgeon and discuss everything in detail. Good luck!
