What if You Have Seromas from Ultrasonic Lipo, and You Have Stiches?

I'm now 3 months post op. I had ultrasonic lipo of the abodomen, flanks, arms and chin. I had stitches and I believe there is still seromas, when does this clear up and where does the fliud go? I also noticed that when i wrap tight i still get some swelling on the vagina area!!! when should this be completely healed?

A: seromas can form after any liposuction

there is some data out there that suggests that it may form more commonly after ultrasonic liposuction.  if you feel that you have a seroma, do see your surgeon.  aspiration may be helpful.  as far as swelling, especially in the mons area, this may take a few more months to fully resolve.  don't worry.  the swelling there is quite normal.

What Qualifies Someone for Financial Assistance with Liposuction Procedures?

i have had 5 kids and i just cant seem to get any diet pills or exercise to work for me and i am 25 an d tryin to have some areas fixed like my stomach, back fat, and maybe arms but mostly my stomach.

A: try financing

liposuction is elective "happy" surgery.  sorry but financial assistance is for surgeries that are necessary, not elective ones.

During Liposuction Follow-Up Appointment the Doctor Didn't Comment on Whether or Not I Need Touch Up, is This Normal?

Had liposuction of the left breast more than 3 months ago. Went for my last appointment and the doctor looked at my breasts but did not say anything on the results. The left breast is still bigger and droops more. He just gave me an ointment for the mild ezcema I was having and I was sent home forever. I paid him so that my breasts are more symmetrical. As a professional, he should have advised whether there's need for a touch up. Should I go back after 6 months and pay again for touch up?

A: "touch up" policy should be negotiated prior to surgery

we have a policy of touch ups that makes clear if one is needed who pays for the facility/anesthesia/surgery costs.  the truth is, liposuction of the breast really cannot treat drooping of the breast.  furthermore, if your breasts are very fibrous it may be hard, even with ultrasound assisted, to adequately remove tissue.  i would go back to see your surgeon to discuss whether anything else can be done.  if you are not happy/comfortable with your surgeon, i would not simply plan on going back and paying him for more work.  good luck!
