I had Lipo 3 weeks ago and had a complication with a seroma in one spot. It was drained 6 times and I think it went away finally but my stomach does not in any shape form or fashion look good. Is this normal? When do I start to worry that it will not get any better than this? there also seems to be an odd imprint on my stomach. I have read all the answers and know there is swelling. What I want to know is 3 weeks PO is this what it is supposed to look like?

Answer: Liposuction Recovery 777111 I am sorry you had to deal with postoperative seromas, and I completely understand your concern. However, you cannot evaluate your results after only three weeks, especially after seroma formation. Under circumstances with no issues like seroma, it can take as long as six months for all swelling to resolve and skin to settle down. Your photos do not demonstrate any cause for immediate concern. Try to stay patient and positive and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.
