In The Months Ahead: What To Expect

Your body will go through many changes - most very subtle. You will also feel those phantom pains, tingles and warm sensations. Remember your body is getting accustomed to a lot of tissue removal. Your collagen is networking to form scar tissue and to heal from this elective trauma. Liposuction is not a walk in the park nor is it a quadruple bypass - but it is not to be reckoned with. Let your body heal and know in advance to expect. Have patience, your body is getting better every day.

After your initial post-operative appointments (usually within the first 3 days), you may be expected to attend your post-operative appointments at the 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month mark. Some request 1 month, 4 month, 6 month mark. Some suggest the 6 month or 1 year mark - And some - never again. Get to know your body. Also ask beforehand regarding post-operative check up charges. Some surgeons charge their patients for a quick 10 minute check up, some do not.

Within the first 6 to 9 months, many patients I have spoken to report that most of the numbness subsides. The scars are usually at their worst around the 3 month post-operative mark. Remember that they will, in most cases, fade and flatten. Just know beforehand and accept it and you won't have any unpleasant surprises.

Also there is the rare possibility that your scars may have keloid or be experience hypertrophy. You may also notice asymmetry. Your tissue is not paper or fabric and will heal differently on either side. If the asymmetry is pronounced you may consider revision - or a "redo".
