Hello, How do you know when your swelling is gone or getting better? Not in days or months... But Physically how can you tell that the area is full of fluid not fat? I have EXACTLY the same love handles/saddle bags before and after lipo. Can that really be possible after 2 1/2 weeks? I thought I would be able to see SOME change any change at all. I am 5'5 108#
Hi, i am today almost 3 weeks post-op and i am starting to worry because even though if i am aware the it might take up to month for the swelling to go down, i am still a little concerned about my stomach size being this big after 3 weeks post op! Alot of pic i have seen show impresive results and liposuction candidates look skinny within the first 10 days! Please someone help! Is this normal or no?
I had liposuction at the end of January and was told they removed 6 litres of fat. Im no expert but based on google that apparently equates to about 12/13 pounds. Im only 3 weeks into recovery but I have just weighed myself for the first time and I weight exactly the same, is this normal? Will I lose weight once the water retention has gone and last bit of swelling? I know its not a weight loss procedure but I did expect some weight loss
I had Lipo 3 weeks ago and had a complication with a seroma in one spot. It was drained 6 times and I think it went away finally but my stomach does not in any shape form or fashion look good. Is this normal? When do I start to worry that it will not get any better than this? there also seems to be an odd imprint on my stomach. I have read all the answers and know there is swelling. What I want to know is 3 weeks PO is this what it is supposed to look like?
I am 9 months post op tummy tuck and 19 days post op abdominal liposuction. Did I mess up my results ? I was flat before I did the liposuction I just wanted to get more of a waist. Is this swelling ? Loose skin ? Missed fat? If it is missed fat how long do I have to wait to fix it
I have a pocket I have tried to circle that ha fluid from day 10 I am now day 21. It hasnt got any bigger. I can however move the fluid from one side to the other. I dont know if its enough to warrant being drained or if I should wait another week to see if it goes. My doctors isnt local but I appreciate without an examination its not possible to fully say
Hi! I has a liposuction 3 weeks ago. Recovery has been alright although still some lumps that makes my abdomen uneven. My doctor has emphasized that I should use a light spandex. It is tight but the material is just, spandex. I see so many comments about the importance of a hard compression garment and wanted to know if I should switch it. I started this week wearing at night a hard garment. But when I ask him he strictly says the hard ones can cause problems.
No change it weight. Should I see a change? Just curious. Liposuction on upper thighs, muffin top, and bra line 17 days ago. I don't feel swollen, but I am still numb and tender. I know I'm still healing, but can swelling be gone? I don't know how many pounds were taken, but weight has not changed. Will/should I see a weight loss? I can definitely see results already, just wondering if I'm seeing 90% or 10%. Thank you.
I am also curious is it good that they are doing it on my stomach and arms at the same time? I read one area at a time is better is that true? I did notice some softening of the fat after my first treatment and I plan on having 10 total with a few lymphatic massages but not after every treatment since this is to costly. I also read it is good to do excercise after each treatment but I walk 3 hours a day and stretch since I am still recovering from the lipo is this ok?
