I had Smart Lipo done on my abs over 2 weeks ago and now have this ridge above my belly button that looks like a roll of fat accompanied by sagging skin. Its soft on top and hard underneath and i dont have my post op check up until sept (its out of town or else id go sooner) and wondering if its normal? i wasnt overweight and very petite before and have not had kids or saggy skin EVER. PLEASE ANY FEEDBACK WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Irregularities after SmartlIpo or any other liposuction can happen. I would make sure that your garment is providing even pressure with no ridges and no tight areas. I would also make sure your surgeon has seen the pictures you posted. Lastly, I would not wait until your scheduled appointment, but I would go see your surgeon now to make sure there is no collection of fluid there that needs to be drained. Best of luck, Dr. Canales
I have smart lipo to my chin area 2yrs ago and got burns on both entry areas that had to be debrided and left scars and dents. Now I look like I have jowels forming around and an uneven jaw line. I've tried filler. Are there any other suggestions
Hello megan123
I am sorry you had the burns during your Smartlipo and that they needed debridement. Without a photo it is very hard to give any advice. Would you be able to post one?
and what recommended medication is good to use for the continuous pain?
Swelling is variable and most swelling after Smartlipo goes away after 2 months. However, I have seen swelling remain for up to 6 months after liposuction. Be patient, follow your doctor's recommendations and you should be happy in the end.
