It has been 6 months since I had liposuction on my upper and lower abdomen. Initially, my progress was good, but in the past month or so, I have noticed that my upper abdomen appears round and distended on most days. It feels hard to the touch, almost like I am pregnant.
Thank you for sharing photos along with your question. Although swelling can take 6-12 months to completely resolve, it generally improves over time rather than worsening. I can observe a difference between your 4-month photos and the subsequent ones, indicating increased distention. It is advisable to schedule a follow-up appointment with your plastic surgeon to assess whether there are any factors beyond normal swelling contributing to this change. Best of luck to you!
By the time you reach six months after liposuction, the surgical swelling should have resolved. Interestingly, your four-month photo appears better than your six-month photo. It is possible that you have gained some weight, specifically intraabdominal weight, which is located around your organs and cannot be addressed through liposuction. You would be more aware of any weight gain. Considering the volume of liposuction you underwent (5 liters), I would expect your weight to have decreased somewhat. Your description also aligns with the possibility of pregnancy, but you would have more insight into this than I do. I recommend following up with your plastic surgeon to have your abdomen examined and ensure that there are no other factors unrelated to the liposuction contributing to the swelling. Best of luck to you.
The majority of swelling should resolve within 6 months after surgery, but some patients may experience swelling for up to a year. It is best to follow up with your plastic surgeon for an in-person evaluation.
After 6 months, the swelling should have resolved. It's advisable to contact the surgeon and discuss any concerns for a personalized evaluation.
