About 60% of fat from the transfer is retained and the results are permanent. The size will change with your weight just as the rest of your body does. In other words, the fat acts like it was naturally there. You can get a good idea of the final result after 6 months.

Ultrasound guidance can be used ot assist in guidance of loculated collections. However, this may be prohibitively expensive. Your best bet is to travel back to mexico where the care can be rendered by those familar with the complications.

A fair amont of swelling and weight gain is possible after liposuction.  The more that is done, the more that you will swell and accumulate fluid in your tissue.  Most of this fluid will be gone within the next 6 weeks though.  You have to be patient.  Good luck.
