Liposuction Results- First Week Post-Op

Thanks for the question. Five days after your operation is much to early to determine the final results of liposuction. Results from liposuction generally take anywhere from two to six months. If you do not notice much difference immediately after your procedure the best advice is to be patient and allow time for the swelling that is there to decrease naturally. Also, the amount of fat removed varies from individual to individual and 600mL can certainly make a difference on those with only a small amount of fat to begin with. As always questions and concerns regarding your procedures should be discussed with your surgeon. For the best results always visit the office of a board certified plastic surgeon. I hope this helps.
