Is a revision surgery needed? 6 months post op (Photo)

Thank you for your question. Typically swelling can last approximately 8-10 months. I normally wouldn't recommend going in and revising it until closer to a year mark. I would suggest speaking with your surgeon closer to the year mark and making a decision. Best of luck to you.

You may need a revision if you're unhappy with the results. However, I would advise waiting a whole year prior to revision. It's hard to judge by the picture, but glandular tissue is difficult to remove with liposuction alone, which mainly targets fat. You may need a excision through a small incision. If your plastic surgeon believes it's improving, I would continue to wait.

Dear Kroppsfixare,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
