Post Vaser Lipo Swelling

Thank you for your question. Gravity will move the fluid to the legs and feet. This is normal, but not everyone gets swelling. This is a variable, and not all patients swell the same. I hope this helps.

Swelling in feet after vaser

Thank you for your question. If you had treatment on your thighs swelling in lower legs is relatively common due to gravitation it travels down. wearing whole leg compression leggins can be helpful. You, however, should see your surgeon for review and post-operative treatments like lymphatic drainage massaging etc

Vaser lipo and pain

You did not mention what areas you had Vaser lipo. Some discomfort after areas liposuctioned is common. If you have pain in the legs and they were not treated, then you should speak to your doctor.
