Hello. Great question. At 7 weeks post op, there may be some swelling present. At 7 weeks you will not be seeing your final results. Keep following your surgeon's post op instructions.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

You are still early in the healing phase and still have swelling. I would suggest calling your surgeon and asking about massage and other treatments to help smooth the area.
