  • Posted to Vaser Liposuction on Stomach and Hips - Well Worth It - Phoenix, AZ on 28 Apr 2010

    I used arnica too but don't know if it worked. As you can see from my pics, had bruising but don't know if it wouldve been more without it. Sorry to hear that you're leaking like crazy. I didn't at all which scared me cuz I didn't know where all that fluid would go! Had the same stuff done as u did but not the definition. Good luck with your healing and let me know how you like the results weeks post op!!

    Niceface- don't ge discouraged...the swelling will go down in days. I started seeing results 2-3 days post op despite the swelling. Full results will not come until 6 months. I'm 6 wks post op now and still somewhat swollen and some parts of my back are numb. Can't wait to see the full results. I stopped wearing the garment 1 month post op. thank goodness because it was annoying and uncomfortable! If I had a party to go to, I didn't wear it for the whole day but wore it at night. Bought spanx and wore it 1 wk post op. The garment the doc gave me didn't feel tight enough and didn't cover my back. Still massaging my stomach at night for about 15minutes. Good luck on your 2nd procedure!! You will do fine and can't wait to see results!!!

    Hi 2541anon! Thanks for your sweet comment! Yes I've heard and seen what hi def vaser can do and it's amazing! Would have loved to get it done but didn't have enough money for it. Regardless, I am happy with the vaser lipo I had done. It just makes me more motivated to work out! Like you, skin retraction is slow. Hoping for my skin to get tighter. Life has gotten busy but will post pics up as soon as I get a breather. Do you have pics up?

    Hi Jeanz1 Vaser will definitely make you smaller but wont take out the cellulite. My MD warned me before the procedure that it will not take away cellulite since that is permanent. Vaser will only take out unwanted fat, not cellulite. Once its there, its there. I know..it sucks. Only way to diminish it is by exercise. That will tone and lift you up. I dont imagine it will be difficult for you since youre at a good weight range now. Try working out and see if you see any changes. Hope this helps.

    Hi bootyfull (love that screenname!) Wore the garment for about one month. By the end of the first week, had to buy spanx since the one they had provided for me didnt feel secure and tight enough. They were some days I didnt wear it all because I was at an event and too uncomfortable. Ive read that some people wear it for only 2 weeks. I felt more at ease with it on and i felt that it held me more in place. Had the lymphatic massage done for twice. Dont really know if it was worth it. Its almost similar to a regular massage. Only difference is they massage your stomach...which you can do yourself. I massaged my stomach 3 days post op. Dont do it that early. Didnt find out you were supposed to wait until 10 days post op. Reason is you'll get more bruises by doing it that early. You can definitely do the massages on your stomach by yourself. Do it at least 10-15minutes a day. You'll feel hard lumps which is normal. That should go away after 2months. Good luck on your procedure!! you'll be fine!!!
