Seven weeks post lipo 360 and concerned about skin. Please help. Will I need a tummy tuck? (photo)

Hello.
Great question. I am sorry for your post op difficulties. At 7 weeks post op it is still early to see your final results. It can take up to six months for all swelling to subside. Keep following up with your surgeon to rule out any fluid collection. 

Hi Maven,It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You likely have swelling, which can last 3 to 6 months after your procedure. It will take 6 to 12 months to see the final outcome.I recommend following up with your physician about their suggested after care protocol. I have my patients wear compression for 3 to 6 weeks straight then overnight for 3-6 months after their procedure. I suggest adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding Vanquish for further fat removal; truSculpt iD, Exilis, Forma, and Venus Legacy for additional skin tightening; and Cellutone / ZWave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance.Ultimately, if you are unhappy with your results, please speak to your physician and ensure that he/she was a full body VASER Hi-Definition liposuction physician with extensive experience in contouring and body shaping -- and not just traditional fat reduction. You can always get a revision procedure by an expert if needed. Best, Dr. Emer

Maven I appreciate your concern, however compare to your pre-operative photographs, you’re really result looks quite reasonable. It can take as long as six months for all swollen to resolve and Skin to retract to achieve your final results, especially after extensive liposuction.  After that time. If thorough evaluation can be performed deciding the need for Tummytuck. Try to stay patient and positive and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.
