Can I Have Liposuction Revisions After 6 Weeks?

Sorry to hear about your outcome.  It is too early to consider a revision.  Changes continue to occur for up to 6 months following surgery.  The problem with a revision that is executed too early is that further problems may become apparent later that can be addressed at the same time as the current issue.  Additionally, your problem may be over or undercorrected if resolution of swelling has not occurred prior to the revision.  Good luck.

Hidef Liposuction Revision is an excellent choice for you; combining liposuction, lipocavitation, Brazilian Cellulite Treatment, Ultherapy, fibrous release, and fat grafting. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Thank
you for your question. Most of the swelling has not resolved in 6 weeks. Final
results take 6-9 months. I would wait 6 mouths before considering a revision. Discuss your
concerns with your Plastic Surgeon

In general, I would advise my patients to wait until 4-6 months after surgery prior to revisions but could modify this recommendation in unique circumstances. 

It is prudent to wait longer than six weeks after liposuction to allow for more healing, contraction and possibly other asymmetries or depressions to declare themselves prior to revising your result. It may be wiser to wait three to six months from the date of surgery.

Liposuction revisions are better done after 3-6 months. The dent make get bigger or smaller depending on the swelling. Any decision is better put off for now.

Six weeks is really too early to do a liposuction revision, even if the problem is very noticeable.  There is inevitably a significant amount of swelling and inflamation on the post-surgical area that can mask the final result, which will make a revision difficult to perform accurately.  It is reasonable to perform revision surgery as early as 4-6 months; my suggestion is to wait.

I would not recommend liposuction revision at 6 weeks after the previous procedure. I would wait at least 6 monthst for the swelling to come down.

This is always the million dollar question.when is the right time for a revision? If you can wait another few months so much the better.In my experience 6 weeks after lipo is not adequate so you get a revision and once the dust settles in 3,4 or more months you are at it again so the more time the better.Patience here is a good thing.

While you should see some difference soon after your liposuction, you are right that you aren't fully healed and "done" at 6 weeks.  I do see the asymmetries that you and your surgeon see, though.  6 weeks is generally what I consider to be too soon for a liposuction revision, but your surgeon may have some specific reason for suggesting it that early.  I would try to wait (especially for that right thigh "dent") at least 4-6 months, if you can.
