Hi I received cool sculpting on my stomach around 7 years ago, then had lipo in the same areas around 2016/2017It looked good but had a ridge. I ended up with ridges and an uneven stomacha year or two later l had cool sculpting again. My stomach now looks deformed and like it has ridges. The pubic area is always puffy and sticks out. Im not sure exactly what it is and how to deal with it. I workout and eat healthy. What kind of doctor can I see to determine whats going on? What options ?
5 weeks post op from liposuction. My flanks and back still hurt. OTC (200mg Aleve + 500mg Tylenol + waterpills) take the edge off and makes my days bearable. But sometimes at night(and some days). The tightness an ridges are excruciating. I am literally cutting the codeine pills in half because I am about run out and no American Dr. will help with pain management because I went to to Dominican Republic and had surgery. Everyone just turns their nose up. I am in contact with my DR surgeon
I got a lipo and fat transfer last week and was given by a size XL garment after surgery.It fit snug but definitely wasnt super tight. After my post op, the nurse said my garment was way too loose so she gave me a size medium. This new garment is super uncomfortable and is causing lines and ridges on my stomach, which she reassured me thats how its supposed to be. I actually didnt have a lot of swelling post surgery so Im wondering if the other garment is just fine to wear.
Follow up to yesterday's question about extreme itching of my scrotum. I forgot to say that the ridge area of my penis is also itchy. Note that after Lipo my scrotum & penis were swollen (but my penis was totally engulfed within scrotum - not visible) I'm now 3 wks post with swelling reduced to about 75%. Scrotum looks like a deflated water balloon. The itching is so bad I wake up at night. What is a good remedy to resolve this itching? My doctor doesn't have an answer for me.
I had lipo my tummy area. Was quite pleased with my results overall. about 4 weeks after i had lipo, one of my parents passed away suddenly;I have been eating bad, not exercising. Things are getting back to normal but I am afraid that I have undone the results of my lipo. My overall weight is same. 1) can bad eating cause me to gain weight in the lipo'd areas so quick. 2) Is it normal to have bloating, i find that my underwear or tight pants usually impact the shape of my belly, i.e. make ridge.
It is 30 days after liposuction of abdomen and flanks. It feels like my stomach and my back are stapled together. I cannot stand up straight, because my stomach is pulling my back. My stomach is very hard, u can feel ridges of hardened muscle underneath, on my abdomen. Should I go and seek a 2nd opinion? My P.S. is not giving any answers.
Will this ledge above my belly button go away or do I need a revision? Also, I have ripples on my sides, will these smooth out? If I need a revision, does a PS typically not charge for it, I paid $6,800 for upper & lower abdomen, flanks and bra fat areas. I am currently 14 weeks postop. Thank you!
8 weeks ago I had lipo of the hips/flanks/abs. I am pretty fit, 36, no kids. About 1 week post op I got a ridge/puffy area around my belly button and it hasn't resolved any as the weeks pass. I wore my compression garment for 6 weeks, get lymphatic drainage massage 2x per week for past 5 weeks. Sent pics to my doc, he said to wait till 6 months post op& will revise then if needed. Based on my pics does this sound correct? Does this appear to be swelling or residual fat?
I have had liposuction on my abdomen done 4 months ago. I notice a ridge/valley right above my belly button running side to side. I don't like it. Above the ridge are small bulging areas (about 2-3 inch wide) which create uneven surface. There could be small amount of fat underneath (feels soft to pinch). Only surface texture that area can meaningfully have is when you have six pack. Is there a way to smooth everything out and make everything natural (uniform and symmetric)?
