I had both upper and lower abdomen and flanks done six weeks ago i have yet to see any results! I still have some numbness and lumps. Is thisNormal?
Answer: Liposuction results are not immediately noticeable.
Liposuction results are not immediately noticeable. However by six to eight weeks there should be some very noticeable improvement even though the final result may be a month or two away. Depending on the circumstances you may have either fibrosis of the tissue or possible seromas which are obscuring the changes.
In my Salt Lake City, Utah plastic surgery office I perform a high number of liposuction cases and it is normal to sometimes have delayed results due to the fibrosis or seromas, but I talk to my patients about these findings and often institute treatments to help them resolve so my patients know that I am taking a very active role in helping them get the results that they want.

Answer: No results after liposuction
I would love to see your before and after shots. I sometimes hear from patients that they did not see any results after the procedure and when we compare the pre and post procedure shots there is clearly a difference. granted in your case u might not see or appreciate a difference which means that u might require another procedure or a touch up procedure

Answer: Liposuction Results
In general you should see early results at 6 weeks.
There is however significant variation in how fast people recover from liposuction. Many variables have to be considered such as amount of fat removed, have you used a elastic garment during this time?, weight gain or loss independent of the liposuction, amount of bruising associated with the surgery, constipation, etc. One thing that would be helpful is to review your preoperative photos with your surgeon

Answer: No results seen 6 weeks after liposuction
Six weeks is a little long to see no results after liposuction of the abdomen and flanks unless the amount to be removed was very small. Lumps at 6 weeks, however, is not unusual.
I would review this with your plastic surgeon and also review your pre-op photos. You may be surprised at the difference. Ask how much fat was removed from each area. If a substantial amount was removed, there has to be a difference. The final swelling takes a minimal of six months to be completely eliminated, but typically a major difference is visible after a few weeks.

Answer: 6 weeks after liposuction
At 6 weeks post liposuction, there is still swelling and the final results may take several months. Numbness usually improves over the first 6-8 weeks. As for lumps you should check with your doctor.
