I had lipo of back of arms, circumferential thighs & abdo 5 days ago. I now have pitting oedema of both arms & cramping of both hands & feet. I had it done overseas & I'm back home now so I can't see my doctor- any ideas what could be causing it?
My doctor assures me that my stomach will get flat. I am unhappy with results. 3 of the pictures are showing me doing a plank position, I feel like I still have fat and loose skin. I am trying my hardest to avoid tummy tuck. Do not need my muscles tightened.I workout. I would rather to it the old fashioned way. Sit-ups! And trying to avoid large scar. What should I do at this point? All advice is appreciated.
What are the treatment options for malar edema /mounds? I am 31 and have malar edema/malar mounds. I'm wondering what possible treatment options there are for this. I read that microsuction can help in the earlier stages and if there's no skin laxity? Thank you.
I just had 2 L of fat removed from my inner and outer thighs 10 days ago (5'4, 136lb) and I seem to be retaining an obcene amount of fluid. Could this be because my incisions were stiched up and my body wasn't given a chance to drain the excess fluids? My bruising seems to be traveling down my legs further every day when I'm out and about. Is there a way to alleviate the water retention and prevent further development of bruising?
Help! keep hearing oh you are still swollen. How do I know that this is swelling and not fat left behind. I had about 4.5liters taken out. Im 6 weeks post op. I was expecting a nice contour but am so heartbroken because i still feel like the same ole me. I opted out of a tt so I was not expecting washboard abs but def a smaller waist and a nice shape. I I feel like I need a 2nd round. Spent so much $$$ researches drs for months and went on so many consults. So sad!
I believe this is a very challenging area to reduce swelling because I sit all day at work. Its only been a week since my surgery and i do understand that swelling will eventually go down in weeks to months, but i have not yet seen any improvement. The swelling in the area is very hard to the touch and skin is not pliable. I have worn a bodysuit 24 hours a day. I am extremely worried that this could be a long term problem. What is your experience for patients on this area week by week?
I had my first experience with Ultrasound assisted liposuction in June 2016. The contouring wasn't great and my surgeon suggested a revision which I had December 5th. So I am approximately 10 weeks out and this is what I look like. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Is this excess fat or edema? I still have major edema in the pubic area so I'm hoping this will resolve. What's wrong with me, I left the office with a beautiful flat stomach!
I read that Iv fluids after lipo may increase the risk developing pulmonary edema and are contraindicated. I have IBD and i am always a little dehydrated. I will stay at an aftercare facility for the iv fluids overnight. The fat will be removed from my neck. Should i receive the fluids ? Thanks.
I'm using a Vedette Dual Compression body suit post abdominal lipo. It's giving me a very hour glass shape, however, my lower abdomen seems bloated. Could the compression garment be causing this? Here is the product: http://www.vedettestore.com/eng/search.php?comp=2
