Should I be massaging in circles for about 5-10 minutes each time or should I be doing this for longer periods of time. With work, I only get a chance to do it 5-10 minutes in the morning and in the evening. Any other suggestions to help with the healing process and smoothing the lumps.
Massaging the firm lumps after liposuction can help to soften the tissue that is progressing through some internal scarring. I usually recommend 2 times daily for 3 minutes each time. Lotion and hand massage works well or you can even add a handheld electrical or battery powered massager. I hope this info is helpful.
I've always been slim, but tend to gain weight disproportionately in my lower body- and I've been considering liposuction for my saddlebags/inner and outer thighs/knees. However, I plan to become pregnant in 1-2 years. Would the results from lipo prevent weight gain to the treated areas during pregnancy? Or would it be more beneficial to wait until after a pregnancy? Thank you!
Decreasing localized fat deposits through lipo will theoretically lessen the disproportionate increase of fat if you gain weight. In reality however, if you gain weight, you gain fat in many areas of your body including those suctioned previously. Remenber lipo is for sculpting contour, not weight loss. I hope this info helps.
hi. may 19th i had 700cc removed from my lower abs and flanks and 200 cc removed from my mons area. my flanks and stomach have gone down alot and my pubic area was looking smaller til last week. now it seems back to what it was before. i still have a little soreness in mons area and a few hard spots. i know this area can take some time for swelling to go down. but how do i know if it is swelling? what are the signs of swelling still there?
If it was flatter early postop and now fuller, give it time (2-3 months). Swelling that comes and goes is usually related to tissue fluid and resolves overtime. (eg. like a sprained ankle that swells up and down for a few days depending on how much you stand on it.) I hope this info helps.
