Had Waterjet Lipo on Flanks, Lower/mid/upper Abs, Inner and Outer Thighs 5 Weeks Ago. Are These Results Normal? (photo)
Day after lipo I was almost 50% bigger than pre-op. I was not fat but gained some weight due to work stress that was not coming off with exersize. Today I had my 5 wk post-op visit, there is a ridge on my mid-ab and my inner thighs look bumpy. My Doc said I have uneven swelling and this is normal, but suggested I get Vellashape to help smooth it all out. My biggest concern is I travel for work and will not be in town for treatments. I am bigger 5 wks post op and dieting. Any advice is welcome.

Your operation is recently and you need to massage your body to avoid the swelling, if you travel, use lycra support from the beginning of the day.
