Tags: abdomen, flanks, results, swelling

I had MPX Smart Lipo done 2 weeks ago on stomach and flanks. A week ago I looked great stomach was super flat, flanks were perfect. But, now in week 2 I look bigger and my stomach is super hard around my belly button. my flanks look fat. I am still wearing my garments and I do my massages 5 to 10 mins twice a day. Am I just being paranoid or am i just now swelling or is there a bigger problem?

Swelling is normal after Smartlipo

Lovefo, You are not paranoid, your concerns are reasonable. You are experiencing the normal evolution of healing phases after Smartlipo: During the first phase (few days to week) everything looks great; during the second phase (several weeks) there may be hardening and swelling; and during the third phase, the swelling resolves, the skin becomes smoother and more tone, and the results resemble the initial phase. So eat appropriately, and trust that your final result will look great.... more

Inflammation lasts a while with liposuction

I always advise patients that they must excursive patience following any procedure. Our body must go through the normal healing process and this takes time. Your body will experience swelling and inflammation for sometimes six to eight weeks. It takes a matter of months before you get the final results. Collagen formation will help with tightening and this takes quite a while. Take care

If you have concerns, please check bad with your surgeon.

You are still in the healing process, so it is difficult to know what your final results will be. If you have concerns, please check bad with your surgeon.

Low impact aerobic exercise is the best way to reduce inflammation after smartlipo

Low impact aerobic exercise is the best way to reduce inflammation after smartlipo. Patients should always see their doctor post operatively to make sure nothing has gone wrong with the healing process.
