I'm 19, 130 lbs and 5'2" . I'm having Smart Lipo done on my outer/inner thighs, hips, knees, love handles, and back. I plan to start working within a week or so after my surgery, although I'd like to know, will I see a drastic difference after 5 days to a week? Like drop 2 sizes? Or will I still look the same and only see results after a months or so? I really hope I'll see a difference as I'd like to look slimmer for my new job. Please let me know. Thanks!

Answer: Will I Look Thin 5 Days After SmartLipo? Dear jenny7art, Thank you for submitting your question. Swelling after liposuction will last for many weeks after surgery Final results take 6-12 months. Minimizing activities, lymphatic massage, and using a contour garment will help with the swelling. What I have noticed in my patients is that they go down one pants size in 6 weeks and 1-4 sizes in 12 weeks. Best wishes

Answer: No Swelling can be worse in the days after your surgery, so at 5 days you may look worse than before your surgery. But it will go away with time. I'm not sure if you'll drop 2 sizes, because it depends on how much fat is removed.

Answer: Swelling will probably hide results Patients can generally assess their results in about three to four months, as swelling, bruising and firmness may hide results. Swelling in particular will make you look larger than you actually are, so please follow your surgeon's post-op instructions and wear your compression garment as advised to help with your recovery. You will probably need to wear your garment for a couple of weeks.
