The amount of fat that is removed during liposuction for it to be successful depends on many things and sometimes too much fat removal is even worse than not enough.The full results of liposuction take at least 3-6 months and I would suggest waiting for a while before making judgements.I suggest that you see your doctor and review your concerns.

Hi, MarkingYou are very early in your recovery process.You did not have excessive amount of subcutaneous fat prior to surgery.I expect that you will continue to see improvement next 2-3 months.Please be patient and follow your plastic surgeon's post-op instruction.Best regards.

Erika Sato, MD, FACS · Answer

At 10 days post op you can't make any judgment about the final product. There is a lot of swelling at this point in the healing process. You won't really be able to judge your results until you are ~6 weeks post op. Try to stay patient and wear your compression garment.

It may be enough but its too early to tell. You need to wait about 3 months for the swelling to resolve and see the results. The goal is not to remove all of the fat. Some fat needs to be left behind. Best of luck.Paul Wigoda MDdrwigoda.com

You are very early post-op, and you are going to be swollen. It will take several months to see the final results. Be patient.
