Hi I’m about 1 week post op from having liposuction and really concerned about this pudge I have under my belly button.. is this from swelling or is there a chance this might be permanent? I’ve been wearing my compression (faja) almost 24 hours a day. Please let me know..
Answer: Post-Liposuction Results & After Care -- Compression, Lymphatic Massage, Hyperbaric Oxygen, Radiofrequency Treatments It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can last 3 to 6 months after your procedure. It will take 6 to 12 months to see the final outcome.

Answer: Liposuction Recovery MaryI appreciate your concern, however the area shown in the photograph most certainly is secondary to postoperative swelling. It is still very early in your recovery journey and it can take as long as six months for all swelling to resolve. Discuss your concerns with your board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Is this pouch from swelling or is there a chance this might be permanent? Thanks for your question. Healing after liposuction is usually pretty straight forward. There is a process of swelling and bruising that peaks at 3 days after surgery and then undergoes the first stage of major resolution in the first 2 weeks after surgery. The lateer phase of healing takes place over the 2-3 months after surgery where everything really settles and softens. It is after this time that we are getting close to the final result, though this varies patient to patient. It's best to follow your surgeons specific advice post-operatively. We typically have our patients wear compression garments on the areas we did liposuction to help the skin and underlying tissues re-adhere as well as reduce swelling.
