Is my stomach supposed to be hard and poked out 1 week post 360 lipo + bbl?

Question

I just had 360 lipo 7 days ago on June 6th. Today my stomach is hard and nowpoked out like I never had lipo done, as well as just below my stomach is swollen. Is this supposed to happen during the healing process?

Thank you for your question. Swelling after liposuction is common and expected. At one week it sounds as though things are right on track. Do not expect to see your final results for weeks to months!Hope this helps!

It's common after liposuction to have significant swelling in the areas where the fat was removed. Initially it may look like nothing was done, but as the swelling improves your results start to show through. It takes 6 to 9 months to see your final results after a liposuction procedure. One complication from liposuction can be a seroma, which is fluid underneath the skin. Seromas need to be drained in order to make them go away. If there are concerns you should contact your plastic surgeon, so that you can be evaluated in person.
