Why do I not see any difference after my liposuction?

It will take 6 months for the swelling to subside after liposuction.  After this point in time you can evaluate your result, looking at before and after pictures and measurements.  Be patient.

Great question! There are what I describe as the three main phases of seeing results (Actually, there can be a fourth phase as well):Phase 1:  The first 14-21 days -- This is when swelling is maximal and you may not see much of a change from your pre-liposuction appearance.  This is the phase you are in.Phase 2:  Approximately 8 weeks out -- At this point in your recovery you see a hint of your results when you get out of bed in the morning, but will continue to swell up throughout the day.Phase 3:  Approximately 16 weeks out -- At this point you are for all practical purposes seeing your final resultPhase 4:  There is some very subtle waxing and waining swelling that can take up to one year to disappear.  Most patients don't really notice this phase much!
