Why Do I Look Worse 5 Weeks After Vaser Lipo on Upper Thigh Area (Banana Roll)?

Tags: 1 month post-op, worse
I was in overall great shape except for some extra fat on thigh area (right under the behind). I have not gained weight. In fact I have cleaned my diet up & lost weight. I am 5'2" 105lbs. Now my thigh/butt area looks & feels flabbier, droopy and looks like a big mass of cellulite. I am very concerned & unhappy. I exercise almost daily, eat right, massage with cellulite/arnica creams 3 times daily & wear my compression garment (12-20 hours daily). Not looking better I understand but alot worse?

Discuss this with your board certified plastic surgeon to find out if it is simply a question of patience or if eventually you will require some revision. Good luck to you.

Banana rolls treated with Vaser lipo
Thank you for your question.
Vaser liposuction is suitable for small deposits of fat you described. Skin retraction after surgery, however, can take up to 6 months. Talk to your surgeon what additional therapies he/she can advise you to speed up this process. Sometimes Radio-frequency based therapies can help.
Often fat at the top of posterior thighs can act like supporting fold for buttocks and removal of this can give appearance of more saggy buttocks. Toning up gluteal...
