7 Weeks Post-lipo, Troubling Results? (photo)

At 7 weeks after liposuction you are likely still swollen. You also may need to massage the area to help with the differential swelling and /or tight tissues.

It's hard to say without seeing preop photos and knowing exactly what was done but it can take a long time to see the results of lipo; 4-6 weeks for 85%, 3 months for 95% and up to six months or more for 100%.  That being said, at 7 weeks you should most likely not be bigger than you were before surgery.  You should speak with your PS, consider an ultrasound or CT Scan to make sure there isn't fluid still trapped in there and, finally, consider another opinion.  If it is fibrous tissue it may be amenable to a revision at some point, but that's something you'll need to talk to your PS about.

Sorry for the problem.
