Answer: A black bowel movement after liposuction should be reported to your surgeon.
After liposuction there might be volume changes that could cause to some orthostatic hypotension. This should be transient and might be an indication that the patient is dehydrated.
At one
week you are likely still experiencing a lot of swelling. There are no hard and
fast rules for Smart Lipo, as every patients body reacts differently. Some
patients see results immediately while it can take time for others. I typically
tell my patients that will see a difference by the 4-6...
You should have careful follow up after liposuction and fat transfer. I recommend follow up with your original plastic surgeon. If this is not possible follow up with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.Hope this helps
