Liposuction question! Do you see the difference? I don't! (photos)

Question

It has been 3.5 months since my lipo on inner, outer thighs and flanks . I really don't see much of a change and clothes fit pretty much the same. With your professional eye could you tell me if there is a difference ( "after " photos are on the right side lighter shade) . I don't know how much fat has been removed, I requested this info and waiting on it. But shouldn't be there more noticeable change? I didn't gain weight. I am 5', 120 lb. thank you!

There are changes from your before and after photos. However, it is still too soon to tell what your final results will be. You may still 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. It looks as if you may have had loose skin before hand there was only the chance of some improvement with a contouring procedure.  If you want more results you may need a hi definition procedure or skin removal.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for you for your question. You are still in the healing stage as you may still be swollen. Full results take up to 6 months to show. Be sure to keep your scheduled follow ups with your surgeon.

Hi there, perfectworld. It takes a little while to see the finished results following liposuction – your body is adjusting and some fat cells will still contain fluid that, over time, will be absorbed. It could be up to another 9 months before you see the final results. From a quick look at your before and after images, it does appear to me as though there has been a noticeable change, but following up with your surgeon/clinic to discuss any concerns is always advisable. Once all swelling has subsided and the body has ‘settled’, you should see some changes that refine the final look. Please make sure you continue with aftercare appointments and wear compression garments as advised.
