I had inner thigh lipo 3 months ago and I am not too happy with how it's now looking. Throughout the healing process I wore my compression garments (almost 24/7), was consistent with my diet and exercise, and had the lymph drainage massages. But what I've noticed is an uneveness moreso on the right thigh, and visible indentations on both thighs looking from the side. Were my expectations too high, and this normally happens? Or did the doctor mess up and what should I do?
I received Smart Lipo 360 back in early April and my body appears to healing well, with the exception of burning in the flanks area. I still wear my garment daily and a bandage at night during bed, but I often times wake in the am to burning sides and lower back. I'm not sure if this is common as the tissue in these areas are thinner and more sensitive or if I should be concerned. Oh, my Dr's license is now suspended so I am screwed for follow up care. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
3800 mililiters fat taken. I've worn my Dr.s bodysuit daily since. My postop appt I lost 10. I had abdomen/waist/bra rolls done. Should be smaller. Got a fajas post partum binder, not sure if it gives enough compression, tight tho. Am I gaining weight back or swollen from not wearing binder & only marena bodysuit garments. My Drs staff (3 hrs away) says im to wear my stuff for 6 months daily. I'm so afraid my surgery didn't work. Will my tummy shrink still? I'm 39 around belly button.
I had smart lipo in July 2017 on my upper & lower abdomen, flanks, chest & upper back. Its been 3 months now & hardly any change. My flanks have shrunk ever so slightly,aside from that I look the same as I did before surgery. 4.5 litres was removed. I wore compression garment for 6 weeks. I'm dieting & exercising. My surgeon is telling me to be patient & I should see more results by Jan 2018. Is it normal to still look like this after 3 months? I'm very upset so I appreciate any advice
It has been 12 weeks since I had smart lipo to my abdomen and there is still one big lump to my lower abdomen. Do I continue to massage it or has it improved all that it is going to? Also, do I keep wearing the compression garment because I have been wearing it all of the time except massage and shower. Thank you for your time.
Three months post-op and the the incision scars which are approx 2 mm long are still very visible and a darker shade . I'm using Mederma, scar healing creams, etc, etc.. How long does it typically take before they dissapear completely ?
I had Smartlipo 3 months ago and now have dark shadows on my inner thighs. I believe that they are a result of the contouring and not hyper-pigmentation, but would like to get an opinion please. What if anything can be done about the problem? Thanks,
i am 11 weeks post op and wanted more advice on my uneven skin on my stomach. does this look normal? why is it not smooth? my flanks turned out fine and i love how flat my stomach is, but so ugly and dimply..?? :-( any advice would be appreciated!! is there still a chance that it will even out??
Its been 11 weeks after the operation of SmarLipo on lower abdominal and inner thighs. I add before pic, and the pic in the day of operation with the marks that surgeon did. I was wearing compression garment for 8 weeks 24/7. And went to 6 x LPG sessions. Abdominal is rather ok. But still I'm not happy with the result/progress of the operation on the inner thighs. I'm 30 years old, no kids, skin elasticity is normal, do pilates & some yoga, I have stretch marks but only at outer thighs.
