Uneven lipo revision on flanks? 2 months post op. (photos)

J
jcool785Jun 20, 2018

I originally had a 360 lipo of my trunk in Oct 2017.Waited 6 months for all of the swelling to go down and noticed some unevenness on my side. On April 23rd, 2018 I had a revision. I’m almost 2 months post op and seeing some noticeable unevenness. There also seems to be a pouch on my Lower right side. My doctor said it’s still early in the recovery process and to continue wearing compression. I’m a worry wart....it safe to assume this will get better or should I explore other options?

Dear HollyWould,I would have to examine you but it appears that this is a contour irregularity after liposuction.  This happens often when areas the undergo liposuction are not feathered appropriately. The good news is that it can be fixed and I have done so with good results before. The r...

Based on your photo, you weren't a candidate for liposuction alone, but needed a tummy tuck and/or lifting procedure for best results. You may also have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your c...
