“How soon after lipo do you see results?”

Depending on amount and area , as soon as a week to a fee months.

Typically, it takes 6-8 weeks to see the result. However, sometimes you can see the early result within 2 weeks.

Results are clearly visible by 2 weeks. It takes about 3-6 months to appreciate your final contour.

Visibility of the postoperative results depends on some factors, including how extensive the liposuction was as well as how well you adhere to the postoperative instructions, particularly compression garment wear, but also limiting salt intake (which can lead to worse swelling called 'edema') as well as strenuous physical activity.

You may see noticeable improvement right away, but I always caution my patients not to expect a 'final' result until they are at least 3-6 months out from surgery. Compression is your friend, as is staying on a healthy diet and exercise regimen postoperatively to help maintain and improve upon the result.
