I got smart lipo down 7 weeks ago. I wore my compression garment 24/7 for about 5 weeks and on and off for another week and now Im not wearing it at all. Im noticing a large lumpy area on my upper abdomen. For the past 3 mornings Ive woken up with an intense feeling of burning in that area. Im still receiving a massage once a week with cavitation but I only see and feel the scar tissue getting worse. Can this scar tissue stay permanently? And is this burning normal?
Tomorrow marks my 8 week post op for smart lipo to upper and lower abdomen, flanks and lower back. I have bulges and lumpiness that looks smaller once I first take off compression garments in the morning (still wearing all most of the day and overnight) but by mid day and later, my stomach is back bigger (see day 21 pic). I noticed a couple lumps early on but I know it takes time to heal. 10 massages (lymphatic and deep tissue) and still no change. Does this seem normal? Suggestions please.
I am now at two and a half months post smart lipo on my lower and upper abdomen . First thing in the morning the abdomen contour looks fairly even, progress is definitely noticeable, but later on in the day several areas harden quote a bit and the abdomen develops more noticeable ripples/ridges . However, after a decent size meal ( lunch or dinner ) the entire abdomen takes on a horrible shape ; very asymmetrical distentions, pronounced ripples and ridges, half way up it almost looks like there is a shelf protruding on the sides and front, there are lumps, more hardened areas, etc. I'm not sure what causes this in light of the fact that upon waking up in the morning the appearance is very even and smooth, so I am both puzzled and worried as to why there is such a drastic change after eating and why isn't the added extension of the stomach evenly distributed ? Will this gradually subside and go away with the coming months Giving way to that even distribution of weight or post meal extension, or is it something I can expect to be a permanent effect of the surgery ?!
I had smart lipo only surgery 2 months ago. Dr told me he got all of the gland by using a sharp edged instrument within his lipo suction technique My puffy nipples have gone down. But I have to large lumps under my nipples. You may be able to notice them in the pictures. Dr keeps telling me that they will disappear but I am starting to get nervous. I do not think the lumps were ther right after surgery
I had Smart Lipo on my arms two months ago at the age of 61 (female). Currently, my right arm has a lot of loose skin, and my left arm has loose skin and some lumps. I am afraid they will get no better in the next 4 months. My surgeon tells me it takes 6 months to see the final results of Smart Lipo. Do you think there could be a big change from my current condition in another 4 months?
started using ann cherry latex compression waist cincher couple days ago, i note it really helps with swelling and hopefully will assist with redraping. However cincher has has hooks, should I be worried about any indentations at this time ?
