No Results After 6months of Liposuction, Should I Request a Re-Do?

Thank you for the question. 

You may want to start by looking at your before and after pictures side-by-side. Sometimes  patients forget what they looked like before surgery. You may notice a significant difference even though there is no difference in the measurements.

I would suggest communicating with your surgeon again after you have evaluated your pictures. This communication should be done in a calm and non-accusatory fashion.

After this communication, if you still feel that  there is significant disagreement you may want to seek a second opinion-  and my opinion, well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.

 I hope this helps.

Certainly at 6 months you would expect to see some changes following liposuction. Ask to see pre and post op photos.  Ask to see a copy of your operative report to see how much fat was removed.  If your weight is the same as it was prior to surgery and you have not gained any weight you should expect to see results by this point. 

If you have the same body weight or less than when you did liposuction and an effective treatment was done, you should be able to see some results.  If you doctor took good before and after photos, you may want to look at them together.  There may also be other concerns such as muscles mass, thickness of the skin etc. that may affect your ultimate results.  A second consultant will not have the advantage of seeing your photos taken before the procedure and may confuse the issue.  Try to work it out with the doctor who did the procedure and let him/her know of your concern about the results.
