Almost 6 Weeks Post Smart Lipo and Skin Looks Like It Has Taken a Turn to the Worst? (photo)

Question

My skin has changed since I had smart lipo almost 6 weeks ago. It didn't look like this prior to me having the procedure. Is it going to change back to a firmer look?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

I would wait 6 months and reassess. If there is a need for revision, find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction and liposuction revision procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Are you having lymphatic massages with external ultrasound therapy??? Was the surgeon a boarded PS??

The photos are very dark so it is hard to say. If your skin was loose before it will be looser afterwards.

Kamran Khoobehi, MD · Answer

The pictures show wrinkled and excess skin. I do not have your before pictures,but based on after pictures you were not a good candidate for liposuction(laser,vaser or traditional). You will need tummy tuck and I would wait at least six months to let your tissue heal.
