Is it normal two weeks after Lipo to be larger in my stomach and thighs than I was before Lipo??? I understand the swelling part, I just didn't know I would be larger than before the Lipo surgery.

Answer: Swelling after liposuction Dear kevbev,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a liposuction. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process at 2 weeks post op. Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively. At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides you will be able to see the final result of your surgery. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery

Answer: Swelling After Liposuction kevbev. I understand your concern and you are describing a very common misconception about liposuction. Swelling after the first 4 weeks after liposuction can be significant and disheartening! This is normal and WILL SUBSIDE. Patience, continued garment use and followup with your surgeon is best advice for now. Complete resolution of swelling can take 4-6 months, so hang in there. Good luck!
