Let me preface by saying I KNOW we aren't supposed to step on a scale after Lipo (and yes I know Lipo isn't a weight loss tool) but I'm not the first or last that decided to step on a scale the next day and now I'm baffled.... so thought maybe someone could chime in! I had lipo on flanks and inner/outer thighs and we removed seven pounds of fat. I was surprised to see that I weighed ELEVEN POUNDS MORE the next day! I know we retain fluid and there's tons of swelling but WTH!
4 weeks ago I had SmartLipo on abdomen & back with a total of 15 small incisions. Most healed nicely except for the 2 largest ones on each hipbone. They are red and inflamed although stopped oozing about a week ago. Initially, any type of ointment and bandaids were making them worse until I discovered on my own that I should use gauze pads and plain cloth tape (apparent allergic/sensitive to most adhesives!) What should I be doing to help with the "angry" redness & swolleness of the incisions?
The first day after Liposuction, my tummy was very flat. Now that I'm on day 3, I can see a bulge where I had Liposuction done. Does swelling increase everyday? I am hoping to hear this is all just swelling and the bulge that re-appeared will go away!
I had liposuction of my flanks, abdomen, and lower back done two days ago, and have noticed my legs and ankles have gotten very puffy. is this normal? How long should it take for this bloating to go down? Is it possible that this is not bloating at all and fat has just transfered to other parts of my body?? thank you!
I've had lipo on my flanks, inner and outer thighs and banana roll (1,7 liters) almost 6 months ago. I'm very unhappy with the left side of my leg/butt. I have a dent next to the butt crease that looks like my PS sucked too deep? And the area above, left outer side of my butt was sucked too little? Based on the drawn areas my PS should have also suctioned the outside of my butt. However, the outside of my butt feels thicker now. Can this still be swelling & still improve THAT MUCH?
i had liposuction on my hips, thighs, and stomach over a year ago. since then, i have lost weight, but for some reason, my hips, thighs, and stomach looks they same way they did before the liposuction. right after the liposuction, i saw the results despite the swelling, but over time, i seemed to have regained weight in those areas despite losing weight overall. what causes this?
