will velashape help upper arm fat and some looseness?
You can expect temporary improvement in skin texture and turgor with modest circumferential reduction after 8-12 treatments. Results will require repeat treatments for maintenance.
I have lumps from Liposuction and I'm wondering, what are my options to fix them? Is Velashape a good choice for me? If no, please explain what would be the most helpful. I am 6 weeks out and very depressed about the results. Is there anything I can do? I do 400 crunches per day and regularly massaging the area. I am 115 lbs. at 5'3" and liked my stomach much better before I had the Liposuction. I am 50 years old but have never been more than 120 lbs. I have always worked out 3-4 times per week, and had a mass index of 15% body fat before Liposuction. Will I have to pay to get lumps removed?
20 % of people notice some irregularity after liposuction, especially in the first month or two after surgery.
Massage and lymphatic drainage are time tested methods to improve lumps and irregularities. I would give it 3 months before being concerned.
Velashape is controversial-some say it works very well to improve contour deformities after liposuction-others say no. However I would certainly give it a try. If nothiing else the suction may improve lymphatic drainage.
If after 4-6 months you still have lumps you may need further surgery. Localised removal of lumps with standard lipo is very difficult. I have had good success with the laser assisted lipo.
See before and after photos of SlimLipo.
My doctor recommended Velashape after liposuction to tighten the skin. I had vaser lipo and smart lipo, and I also lost a lot of weight after the procedure. Now the skin on my belly looks little loose , should I get Velashape and does it really work on abs to make the skin tighter ? thanks
Velashape has been used for several years and results, to me are very disappointing.
If laser liposuction twice did not tighten your skin then Velashape is not going to help, in my opinion.
You are better off considering surgical skin tightening-results are predictable and dependable if done by an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon.
