Swelling can remain up to two or four weeks. Residual swelling lasts for several months, but it's usually not very apparent. See your surgeon to discuss your results.
Thank you for your question. It is still too early to evaluate the results of your surgery. Swelling is part of the healing process. I ask my liposuction patients to wear a compression garment for 4 weeks post op surgery to help with the swelling. The swelling can take months to subside and even longer for skin to “redrape". At that point you will see the final results. Best Wishes.

Thank you for your question. It is common to increase weight in the first days/wekks after surgery because of the overall swelling. No worries , just wear your post op garter, do your massages and drink lots of water. The swelling will reduce in the next weeks. Best of luck
Thank you for your question. While it is somewhat difficult to determine without a photograph, liposuction is likely an excellent option for you for the removal of fat from the underarm region. In some extreme cases, we recommend direct excision of the fat, along with any accompanying excess s...
