Hi, Im a 40 yr old Latina, weight about 135, 53, and just had liposuction in my abdomen and love handles. Its been close to 4 months. Im now pregnant and wondering about the scar tissue that has formed due to the lipo. Will this cause complications when my belly starts to grow? What happens to scar tissue when stretched? Thank you
It has been 3.5 months since my lipo on inner, outer thighs and flanks . I really don't see much of a change and clothes fit pretty much the same. With your professional eye could you tell me if there is a difference ( after photos are on the right side lighter shade) . I don't know how much fat has been removed, I requested this info and waiting on it. But shouldn't be there more noticeable change? I didn't gain weight. I am 5', 120 lb. thank you!
I had lipo 4 months ago. I ended up with the donut around my belly button. Last week, the surgeon did a touch up with Vaser lipo but I still have the lump which he now says is scar tissue. He is now recommending laser. Im skeptical and concerned about whether this will actually work. Thoughts?
I am 47 y.o. & 4.5 months ago I had lipo to get rid of my double chin & a necklift to remove loose skin, including stitching platysma muscles. I am left w/loose skin & maybe some fat leftover. My surgeon has discussed removing the excess skin w/zig zag incision an inch below incision I already have under my chin; possibly removing fat also; and/or maybe restitching the platysma muscles. Need opinions before I get an even more obvious incision scar on my neck.Will my chin/neck ever look smooth?
My doctor told me that I have to wear my compression garment 24/7 for the 1st month, 12 hours for the 2nd-3rd month, and I don't have to wear it anymore after the 3rd month. However, I realise that whenever I remove my compression garment, my stomach and thighs will start to swell a lot... so I'm still wearing it for 12 hours everyday even though I'm already 4 months post op. Will this cause my body to overly rely on the compression garment? Should I continue to wear it?
I had lipo and abdominoplasty on May 1st and its still super sore in the lipo areas on my hips and bra fat area....so much that its sensitive to the touch when Im rubbing it or pulling clothes on and off. Im currently in use of a wound vac and have a PICC line due to my incision opening and having MRSA inside the wound. Additionally, I have a large area of swelling in my abdomen that no one can seem to explain to me. Could the infection be the cause of this soreness and swelling?
