I am 3 months post-op liposuction from the abdomen and back, with fat transfer to the buttocks. I have one burn mark and discoloration from the surgery, and I have been wearing my compression garment day and night ever since the surgery. How long will it take for my stomach to be back to normal?
Answer: Results after liposuction Results after liposuction are typically final around three months. I would not expect any significant change in terms of your body shape and contour. Skin healing does, however, take much longer. Expect changes for as long as one and a half years after the procedure. Your burn may leave a permanent scar, though it will most likely change somewhat over the next year. In my practice, we ask our patients to wear compression garments for two weeks and longer only if they find them useful.Follow up with your plastic surgeon and have him or her address your concerns.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
