I am very concerned about those bulges not shrinking down. i don't look much different than prior to the surgery. i have the same width and my love handles still look a lil aquared like before. help what should i expect at 2wks
Answer: Liposuction Results
Again, don't have weight loss be your goal. You underwent a body sculpting procedure so judge your outcome on your curves. Remember, when you have a tummy tuck you wake up looking very different right away. With liposculpture skin tightening and improved measurements take time. That is also the beauty of the procedure-- that no one has to know you had it done and you just keep get better and better as time goes on. Good Luck!

Answer: Liposculpture hello mxchick Liposuction patients can see results of their procedures as early as 10-14days after the procedure, but improvements continue 4-6 months afterwards as swellings and irregularities resolve. #swelling #waist

Answer: At two weeks post-lipo, swelling is at its peak, but the good news it that it should begin to resolve from here on out. First, liposuction is not a weight loss procedure and you shouldn’t expect a dramatic drop in weight following the procedure. That being said, it is common for patients to gain a few pounds after lipo due to swelling and fluid retention. This same swelling is responsible for the lumpiness you’re seeing and why it may not look as though you have any results. At two weeks post-lipo, swelling is at its peak, but the good news it that it should begin to resolve from here on out. Be patient, and you should begin to notice results soon, although residual swelling may last for up to 6 months.

Answer: Swelling still significant at two weeks At two weeks post-op, you are most likely still experiencing significant swelling that obscures your results. Swelling can take months to resolve completely after a liposuction procedure. Keep in mind that liposuction is not a weight loss procedure; it is used to contour the body into a better shape. Patients should not expect any significant weight loss after liposculpture, and may in fact gain a pound or two in the first 2 weeks while recovering due to lack of exercise and swelling. The best candidate for liposculpture is someone who is at or near their ideal bodyweight and is able to maintain that weight consistently.

Answer: Too early to evaluate the outcome At two weeks after liposuction it is not important to evaluate the bulges and the swelling. These will resolve over a period of 6 months. This is not the time to be weighing yourself.

Answer: Liposuction
Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure it is a body contouring procedure. Sounds like you are still very swollen which is very normal. May take up to 3 months to see your max results.
