Asked By:evan g in United Kingdom, GB

I had abs and flanks lipo on 19 Nov 2016. Three and a half months after lipo, there are no results. My circumference before lipo was 36 inches (based on my trousers size). After lipo it is 39. i have had zero complications/pain/bruising. I do understand that there will be some swelling but I can not tell if I am swollen. I am taking Bromelain for swelling. The fat that was removed from my abs was injected back to my arms to make them look bigger. Is the increase circumference normal? thanks.
