Surgeon keep saying he sees difference. Now I am panicking I see every single person with results right away.would I ever see difference ?

Hello and thank you for your question.You are still early in your recovery. The discoloration will fade with time, and you should continue to see improvement within the next few months. Give it some time. Continue to follow all your instructions and contact your surgeon with any questions or concerns. Best of luck!

Mark Edward Hennessy, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your story and photos. You are still within the acute healing phase after Liposuction. The discolored skin will improve and the residual fat and inflammation  will decrease during the next year. Have you tried lymphatic massage? Perhaps discuss this and your concerns again with your Cosmetic Surgeon.

Hi and
welcome to our forum!
Congratulations
on your recent procedure...The procedure of liposuction is an
"insult" to the soft tissues, resulting in swelling which will
initially totally obscure the operative result.
60-80%
of the swelling should subside within the first 6 weeks, with the remainder
slowly subsiding over 6-12 months.
Continue
followup care with your plastic surgeon...Express your concern. You still have a way to go!
Best wishes...

Wearing the compression garment helps with swelling.  Ask your surgeon to compare the before photos with you to your result once the swelling has subsided.
