Still swollen after three months. Is this normal? Looking for second opinion. (photo)

Photos look like loose skin and fluid collection. Area could be improved with a lipo revision expert.

For some patients the results will not be seen for 6 months or maybe more. Wait a few more months and talk to your surgeon about your concerns. Good luck.

After any type of liposuction procedure I advise my patients to wear their compression garment for at least six weeks.  At the end of six weeks most of the swelling will have subsided, and they typically see the majority of their results.  However, the complete results may not be apparent until up to 12 weeks post-procedure.  At the three month follow up, my patients usually are ready to see their final results, and ready to show off their new contoured figure.  I am afraid that you may not have been a good candidate for liposuction only in the first place.
Swelling is typical for up to 12 weeks and may last up to six months or longer depending on the patient, so I encourage my patients to be patient if their results are not visible within the first 12 weeks.  

It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You likely have swelling, which can last 3 to 6 months after your procedure. It will take 6 to 12 months to see the final outcome.
I recommend following up with your physician about their suggested after care protocol. I have my patients wear compression for 3 to 6 weeks straight and then overnight for 3 to 6 months after their procedure. I suggest 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; truSculpt iD, Exilis, Forma, and Venus Legacy for additional skin tightening; and Cellutone / ZWave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance.
Ultimately, if you are unhappy with your results, please speak to your physician and ensure that he/she was a full body VASER Hi-Definition liposuction physician with extensive experience in contouring and body shaping -- and not just traditional fat reduction. You can always get a revision procedure by an expert if needed. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for your question. Although you're still healing and should wait a few more months to see the final results, you appear to have some irregularities which can be hard to correct. Best is to wait until you're 6 months after the surgery then follow up with your surgeon. 

Dear geejoreed,
I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a liposuction surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides  you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.

geejoreedI appreciate your concern, however it is still quite early in your recovery journey after liposuction. It can take as long as six months for all swelling to subside and scarring to settle down. After that time if you still are experiencing these issues, follow up with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Thank you for your picture and questions. My initial response is that sometimes it can take 6 months or longer for things to resolve and finalize after liposuction, so I would advise waiting at this point. However, I also see some things in the photo that I think are concerning and are likely not going to improve significantly with more time. I am afraid that either you were not a good candidate for liposuction in the first place or the surgeon you chose (presumably not board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery) is not experienced in liposuction procedures. Either way, once these problems are present, they become VERY hard to correct. I would wait a full 6-12 months to see what kind of improvement you can get and then I would consider an in-person consultation with a plastic surgeon who is BC by the ABPS for a second opinion and discussion of revision options.Hope this helps!Dallas R.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation is normal. 
If you are not happy with the results then, l recommend you to make an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a proper answer and to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

Hello, and thank you for your question. (Keep in mind that an in-person consultation is necessary for the best advice.) The swelling may persist and healing may take as long as 3-6 months after liposuction. If it doesn't resolve and you decide to pursue revision surgery it’s very important that you find a surgeon whom you are comfortable with and trust and who evaluates you in-person and tailors an individualized treatment plan for you and your aesthetic goals. Best of luck!Matthew A. DelMauro, M.D.
