I had tumescent lipo of abdomen done 2 days ago- 450cc taken out. I have no drainage from open wounds. My tummy is exactly the same size as before. Does it mean it did not work or the doctor didn't take out enough fat? I'm 116 lbs 5'5 height. I'm really worried.

Answer: Relax and follow up with your surgeon Some patients will even be larger right after liposuction than before liposuction.The space where the fat was has not gone away yet. At this point, you have a lot of swelling, and it will take time to get your final results.Expect to see improvements in three to four weeks and final results in about three to six months.Talk to your plastic surgeon. I'm sure he or she wants you to feel reassured and will answer your questions.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.

Answer: Lipo results Stay cool,way too early for worrying.Give things at least a couple of months and see what you look like then.No drainage is usually a good thing
