Why is My Stomach Still Uneven 4 Weeks After Liposuction?

Hopefully your result will improve as swelling resolves over the next couple of months.  If not, you may benefit from additional liposuction around your umbilicus.  Make sure that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon with  extensive experience in liposuction surgery.

A 4th reason is the area was not lipoed, or a combinations of all the previous reasons. So it is not the norm to appear like this after 4 weeks from surgery. 

Hello,

There are three main reasons to have uneveness after liposuction:

1) Uneven amounts removed given your body needs

2) Uneven Swelling

3) Compression garment.

If your garment does not stop where the border is shown in your photos then it is not likely to be the garment.  At 4 weeks swelling might still be a factor but not to this extent.  Wear your binder, continue massage, and wait a little longer for swelling to go down but I suspect that you may need additional lipo for revision of what we are seeing.

All the best,
