Tumescent liposuction results. Should I be worried? 3 months post-op. (Photos)

babymamanodramaMay 8, 2018
I had tumescent liposuction 3 months ago. I wore compartments for 8 weeks and have been getting regular massages. I don’t feel like this is a normal result. Should I be concerned? What should I do?

Hello. Great question. I am sorry for your post op difficulties. At 5 weeks, you have yet to see your final results. There is still swelling present. Keep following your surgeon's post op instructions.
