i am 2wks post lipo I had about 3.5 quarts of fat removed from my waist,love handles,lower/upper abdomen. I had 5 liters of liquid injected into me that day. I weigh a lil over my weight before the procedure. I am still swollen and lumpy specially int he abdomen area. 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: 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.
