I'm confused about the drainage. I had Smart Lipo on Thursday April 30th. It's now day 4, and not much difference. I think I must be swollen. Drainage wise, I leaked on the way home after the surgery. I changed my bandages and that was it.I keep reading about drainage, and I'm not sure what this means am I meant to be draining more? Or what happens, is it meant to come out of the cuts he made? Or through urine? I had smart lipo with aspiration on my upper and lower abs. Thanks in advanced!
Okay so I am 53 and had Smart Lipo done This week. I am no longer even draining. I had upper and lower abs flanks sides and back above bra area. I Went to clean and it looks like I have rolls that I didnt have before. I have been massaging like they said and the fat on my back is all there and isnt sore dont think they did it they said they took a little one 3 liters is this event right?
I had my smart lipo surgery of my back a little over 2 weeks ago. Drainage seemed to stop 2 days later but then a few days before 2 w it began again and still going. It is day 5 now. Is this normal? The color is light yellow orangy. Doc said it was normal when I saw him a few days ago but wanted to be sure. Thank you.
How soon should I get it done? My doctor thinks i should wait a week but i can feel myself swelling and feel as if there is still fluid left and my incisions are now closed. I really want the best results, what happens if all the fluid does not drain out properly?
About 12 days after smart lipo of upper and lower abs an flanks I noticed a bulge like area to the right of my belly button that was soft to the touch and cause a wave like affect that rippled up my side when touched. Saw my PS, 1st time he drained 100ccs, the next day another 40ccs of blood from the pocket. It is filling up again although not as much as the first time. Is there a point where draining with a needle won't help?
I had smart lipo of the upper and lower abdomen and flanks done this morning. My main question is what is a faster way to drain the fluid? I have a prescription of Vicodin for pain. I was told I could stand in the shower and massage the fluid out of me if I can tolerate it being that I am still numb. I was also told I should massage and wear the garment,spanx, or waist trainer for a few weeks. I plan on getting back in the gym next week if my body allows me to. Any other suggestions doctors!
I had my smart liposuction on my arms 5 days ago, tomorrow is my 6th day post surgery and two of my incision are still leaking watery fulid, its not reddish anymore. is this still normal? i want it to stop already so i can go back to may normal routine!! :(
I had Smart Lipo (upper & lower abs) 5.5 weeks ago. 2 wks after surgery, I started noticing a lump to the left of my belly button. Since the swelling is going down, I notice the lump more and more. It feels like a golf ball in there. I have gone for 2 lymph drainage massages and massage at home and doesn't help. Today I noticed my left rib is sticking out more than the right and is tender underneath. I have called the place I got the surgery and they will not return my calls.
