Usually after the first week, a patient can see and feel their new contour even though some of the swelling is still apparent. L iposuction is an affordable, low risk and rapid recovery procedure. Loose muscles after childbirth may also result in persistent bulging, despite through liposuction. In this case, Abdominoplasty or Tummy Tuck is required to tighten the skin and muscles, and flatten the tummy. A bdominoplasty is a more extensive procedure.
Recovery is longer, but the results are more dramatic, if skin and muscles are loose.
