I'm 1 month post liposuction. Will I look slimmer than this in time?

Question

Had Liposuction 1 month ago from my upper and lower abdomen,waist back or arms and flanks.

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

My general observation over twenty five+ years
of practice is that for the majority of my patients (it varies from patient to
patient) that you will have about 85% of your post-surgical  results at 3-4 months and final result at one
year if you do not gain weight.  #liposuction

Steven J. Rottman, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. You are still relatively early in the post - op recovery period. It may take 3 - 6 months for all of the swelling to subside and see your final result. I recommend close follow up with your plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns regarding the appearance of your abdomen. Hope this helps.

After Liposuction surgery, 3-9 months you still see progress in the performance of the surgery. After 1 month yiu will still have swellings and it is still early to say something about the final result. You should follow up the progress with your surgeon.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest speaking with your physician that performed the surgery. Post-op swelling is normal and results will not be completely visible in 1 month, but in my practice doing hi def body shaping with VASER, huge body transformations are noticeable immediately after surgery.  If you were seeking these types of results, please see a 4D hi def body contouring expert.  Best, Dr. Emer

It's too early to be making a pronouncement about the final result. And all liposuction patients there is some swelling at one month that will continue to resolve over many months.
