I requested my records from WestHealth Surgery center where it was preformed. He didn't take before pictures. I'm 5'5" and weigh 155 lb now and day of surgery. Areas done muffin top, abdomen and outer thighs. Records report 850 ml of the Tumescent fluid was infused and 1050 removed. Given that what results should I realistically expect? His response, "The infused amount is irrelevant since this is absorbed. The total amount removed should yield great results in most cases." I don't believe him.

With awake liposuction, it is best that you take something for anxiety and pain prior to the procedure so you can better tolerate the numbing. Once the areas are numb, the procedure is much less painful, and you may find yourself sleeping.

Fluid build up can occur with tummy tucks and occasionally with liposuction. If no drains were used or only used for a short time, the fluid build up is more common. Try to minimize your bending and wear your compression. You may need to be drained a few more times.

Excess fluid can occur after liposuction and after the tuck. I would suggest let your physician drain you at least weekly. If the amounts are not decreasing each time, you may need a drain. Do wear your compression garments and avoid abdominal exercises and running.
