How long till love handles are gone from lipo?

Question

I got it done about a month ago on my stomach area and love handles. I really would like to know because I still see them and I'm not sure if my mind is playing tricks but I may see a little difference in my stomach but not exactly what I want but I'm now entering my fifth week...

Young R. Cho, MD, PhD · Answer

You should expect some changes from the first couple weeks to the last week in terms of swelling reduction.  The final results should take 3-6 months.  I would consider discussing with your plastic surgeon how much more swelling reduction you might be able to expect.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

You should see a noticeable difference immediately but the final results take 3-6 months.  I suggest speaking to your doctor if you don't notice much of a difference or if you are concerned with the results.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Kevin G. Rose, MD · Answer

We tell our patients it takes up to 3 months for your swelling to go away.  If you submit before and after photos that would be more helpful.

Thanks for the question. It is very hard to address this question with out seeing before and after pictures, please submit these photos for a better observation. Consult with your plastic surgeon for any further questions.All the best,Dr. Results

Whereas there is still swelling after liposuction at five weeks there should be some definite visible improvement. You probably ought to visit your plastic surgeon.
