21-Year-Old Female – Thigh Liposuction (1-Month Postoperative)

We removed 1,550 cc of pure fat, and with the addition of Mounjaro (GLP-1) after surgery, her thighs have become significantly slimmer just one month post-op!
GLP-1 (Mounjaro) has anti-inflammatory effects, which help reduce postoperative stiffness and hardness (fibrosis), making recovery smoother and results more refined.

Risks and side effects
Liposuction may cause swelling, bruising, pain, edema, skin irregularities or tightness, asymmetry, pigmentation, and scars at the small incision sites. Rarely, complications such as infection, hematoma, numbness, or reduced sensation may occur. On the thighs, calves, and other lower-body areas, prolonged swelling, asymmetry, and reduced sensation may occur; the ankles and calves are particularly prone to swelling and pigmentation.
These symptoms may occur during recovery and most improve over time, but their severity and the recovery period vary from person to person. If you have any concerns, please consult your doctor rather than judging for yourself.
