Can I Have Liposuction Revisions After 6 Weeks?

October 17, 2010
Asked By:jv997 in Australia

I have seen my surgeon as I have irregularities on my right thigh after lipo (3.5 wks post op) and he agrees that revisions need to be performed (there's a dent and a 3cm difference in size). He said we can do it at 6 weeks post op, under local. Others are saying we should be waiting 6 months! Are revisions ok this early?? I really hope so because it's really obvious in person.
