I had Lipo 360 and wondering if I need a revision? (Photo)

Question

I had Lipo 360 About 5 1/2 weeks ago. I look worse than I did before and have areas that I don’t know if it’s swelling or if something was done incorrectly. I have good skin elasticity, and I Was thin before The procedure. I just thought I could look a little better With this procedure. I spent $10,000 and I’m scared these will be my final result. The first picture is from before the surgery and the second one is from today. Does it look like I need a revision? Could this be permanent?

During the 1st few months the swelling after liposuction is uneven and there are ridges and lumps normally.  Everyone's swelling is different.  After 3-4 months you can tell if a touch up is needed. At this time it is too early to tell.  Have you been wearing your garment for the 1st 6 weeks as recommended?  Massaging and exercising is very important too.

I know it's hard to be patient but you are still healing.  I encourage you to closely follow your surgeon's advice for optimal results.  I recommend to my patients to wear compression as directed and also get lymphatic massages to help with swelling.  See my website or your surgeon to learn more.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

You are way too early in the healing process to even consider a revision. You still have swelling. Please wear your compression garments. At 6 months, then a revision can be done if needed. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Hello; 5 weeks, have passed; since the operation. In wound healing order; from a period of excessive connective tissue formation; to a period of reduced connective tissue; you must have passed. Your edema and stiffness; will start to decrease. If you haven't had it done yet; I recommend for you; to have a manual massage. After the 4th month, if you still have deformity; Revision Vaserlipo will need to be performed.

Based on your post of photos, you are at a final area of result. Appears the liposuction done was done poorly using poor technique. Only revision liposuction can be offered at this point but must do virtual consult with expect fees to range from $6000-$15,000.
