Not Worth It
Spent: $2,500 in Las Vegas, NV

It was painful for about two days, I am worried cause it has been three weeks and I look so lumpy. Not sure if it was worth it yet.

I am 3 weeks post vaser on my lower abs. I look very lumpy all over. My dr. said it will go away and to keep massaging the area and wearing my spanx(the one they gave me). Is this true? How long will it take to go away? Will the massaging help? Did my doc mess me up? It looks so bad and lumpy : (

Sorry to hear you've had a bad experience so far. Here are some related threads that might help:

Swelling and lumps after Vaser Lipo

Will lumps from Vaser Lipo eventually fade?

Good luck with your recovery and I hope things get better for you.

Hi Nicky, any lipo can result in lumps, bumps and ropes of scar tissue. While in most cases, these would resolve over time, in MANY cases, they simply do not. This will be a waiting game for you. Give it at least 6 months. I just had Vaser High Def lipo on my entire torso, and am thrilled with the results. I had 2,000 ccs removed (about 8.5 cups' worth), so it was a fair amount. But I have NO lumps, bumps or ropes. This surgery corrected unsatisfying results from a lipo I had done 5 years ago. So you CAN get a revision if need be, but it's simply way too soon to think about that now. You don't want to add layers of scar tissue on top of each other. Ask your surgeon about getting ultrasound treatments and/or cold laser, to help resolve the bumps. You need to move NOW on this. These treatments stimulate the circulation and healing to the area while also softening up the tissue under your skin. You feel nothing. The treatments last 30 seconds to maybe 5 minutes per side. But the key is to treat the lumps before they really harden up. GOOD LUCK to you in getting this resolved, and let us know what your surgeon says.

Hello. I have been researching several Dr.s in the Las Vegas area that do the Vaser/Smart Lipo. How did yours turn out? Could you give me some info on Dr's in this area? I am nervous and I don't want to choose the wrong Dr. Much appreciated!! Thank You.

No, nothing has changed! I have seen many plastic surgeons since my lipodissolve, and the all say the same thing. I have to get a tummy tuck in order to even all the lumps out. The said the doctor who did it was way too aggressive and took too much fat out : ( I had my lipo done at the place you are thinking of going to : ( good luck!
