Two months after Liposuction and the result is uneven, is this permanent? (photos)

Question

I had liposuction (Vaser) two months ago exactly. I was fairly lean so was looking for more of a contour. Initially happy with the result, but I have unevenness around my navel. I followed full procedure wearing the garment for three weeks full time, another three weeks at night. The uneven areas feel hard, so hoping it is just swelling. It was worse earlier on, and does seem a bit better in the morning.

At this point, you still have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. HOwever, this is a poor outcome that needs revision.  you were not given contour of the abs or any hi def shape, the chest looks un touched and out of balance.
For current swwelling , 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. Best, Dr. Emer

hello mpav  Final results can be seen 2-4 months later as the swelling continues to diminish and contours become more defined. These contours can even improve throughout the year after surgery. You visit or contact your PS about this concern. #result #post-op

Hi There
Please see your doctor as some swelling is usual post procedure but it should be possible to get a reasonable finish if under GA or sedation. Under local it can be difficult to get resolution around the belly button as it is a tender fibrous area.
There are a number of options to deal with left over fat or make any swelling go down quicker.
Kind Regards
