6 Days Post-op - No Results from Thigh Lipo. Is this Swelling?

6 days after liposuction will be accomplanied by a great deal of swelling, where fluid in the tissue has replaced the fat that has been removed.  You will see fairly brisk improvement over six weeks and further improvement over 6 months.

Six days is too early after thigh liposuction to judge results. Typically I would advise waiting a minimum of three months.

Swelling in the first few weeks after liposuction can be significant. Expect improvement. Ask your surgeon how many ccs of fat were removed and that should reassure you.

It's totally normal for swelling to make you look the same, or worse, than before your surgery. Swelling can be quite dramatic, but most of it goes away in about two months. Don't feel discouraged!

At 6 days
post op after liposuction swelling is to be expected. The swelling will
decrease gradually after the procedure and can be noticeable for up to 3
months.  Liposuction does not always
provide an instant result so I caution my patients that their final result may
not be visible for 6 months to 1 year.  The
best thing you can do now to help the swelling resolve is to continue to wear
your compression garment.  I recommend that
all of my liposuction patients wear their compression garment 24 hours a day
for 6 weeks.  The garment not only helps
with the swelling it also helps the skin retract as much as possible.  If the swelling does not decrease or it seems
to increase see your plastic surgeon soon as possible.Be well and
good luck!@norrisplastic
