I received tumescent liposuction 3 months ago on my flanks and abdomen. I've attached photos of my progress. Only 1 of those jar things was removed of fat. Worried it was not enough.

Answer: Inadequate Treatment Although liposuction would have helped, it needed to be combined with an abdominoplasty, to restore muscle wall integrity, and repair the umbilical hernia. Be sure your surgeon is a board certified plastic surgeon, not a cosmetic surgeon.

Answer: Liposuction results Dear Christine Marie Michelle, 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. If this doesn't improve, then you will probably need a liposuction revision in order to improve your results.
