I'm 2 mos from abdominal VASER under G.A. 700 cc were removed. I'm 5'7 & 155 lbs. I asked my doc this week if the flab (see pic) pinched is swelling or fat, and she said there shouldn't be much swelling @ 2 mos & said it was excess skin from kids & sticks out from stretched diastasis. It seems like fat to me. I also have a dimpled area under my BB in which she said might smooth out. My pre/post measurements are: waist 33/33, BB 35/35, pooch 38/36. Is there any hope for better results?
At two months there still will be swelling from the liposuction. Most of it will dissipate by 6 months at which time you will have a clearer idea of your situation. Grossly from your photos, you still may have a significant amount of fat still present. If so, then additional liposuction may provide you with further improvement though the skin laxity will not be helped by this.
this seroma doesnot seem to be increasing , will it require aspiration , how long it takes to absorb itself, aspiration can be done without ultrasound guidance also
If you indeed have a seroma, it should be treated by aspiration. Is your surgeon aware of this? If not, you should notify him/her and have this treated. If left untreated for long, it may persist - not exactly what you would want.
I have a couple of choices, a sedation pill or nitrous, or both. I was told if I had both that I would be out. I am not sure if I want to go that far. I have seen videos where patients appear to be totally awake. The doctors even had them sit up or stand during the procedure, so that they could make sure they didn't miss anything. I have to pay $75.00 per area for the nitrous. I have had nitrous at the dentist and it does not affect me that much. Thanks for your input.
I often perform Vaser liposuction combined with normal suction assisted lipectomy technique. The advantage of the Vaser liposuction is that it uses ultrasonic energy to break down the fat to allow the surgeon to remove the fat more easily and less damage to the tissue area. After using the Vaser for liposuction then I follow with the suction assisted liposuction technique to remove the fat.
All procedures for liposuction are performed in a state certified facility in which I have a board certified anesthesiologist monitoring your vitals and you are not moving or uncomfortable during the procedure. I think it is important for you to do your homework with the doctors you visit and be concerned about the technique they are offering and why they are not using general anesthesia. Most often this question can lead to the qualifications of the surgeon and if he/she has the necessary requirements to perform this technique and why not under general anesthesia. Touch much local sedation can be very dangerous.
