I had liposuction to my flanks on 10th of april. The point was to get rid of the 'curvy' shape of my hips so that my sides are straight. My surgeon said he removed all the fat (around 3 litres) but sadly I'v seen NO change whatsoever. I honestly feel quite depressed. My hips look the same, the area is painful to touch and swelling constantly goes up and down for no apparent reason. this isnt from weight gain because i'v lost a lot of weight since my op from bodybuilding.

Answer: Lipo 3 months ago no change Thank you for your question. Without seeing before and after it will be difficult to comment about your concern. Lipo causes swelling but most of it will go down by this time and may be more time in some others.Results will continue to improve unto 6 months or more. Best thing is wait three more months reevaluate and meanwhile talk to your PS and express your concerns.

Answer: No Change with Liposuction It is impossible to begin to comment on your situation without seeing several before and now photos. Since none of us have the option of examining you and are here to help you the unavailability of photis makes the job impossible. I will add that with removal of 3 liters from the flanks regardless of swelling you should be seeing a positive improvement. Moreover, men's love handles are relatively EASY to correct. So this raises the questions are you suffering a complication such as a seroma or are your expectations unrealistic that you are unable to appreciate the improvements? Again, without photis it is impossible to answer your question. Dr. Peter A. Aldea
