I had liposuction on my upper arms 2 months ago and still have noticeable stiffness, rippling, and hardness on the inner portion of my upper arms when I reach my arms over my head. I also have a hard dent on the outer side of one. It almost feels like I have ropes in my arms. Yes, I go for ultrasound & massages. Yes, I speak with my board certified ps, but in a larger forum, is this typical for the upper arms? If so, when can I expect them to look normal?
I'm getting liposuction in the beginning of July and I had met someone recently who had liposuction and was two month in and he looked great but he said he had pins and needles on his left side since and I felt his around the area and some areas felt stiff and he said it was scar tissue. Can I expect this too? Also he said he needed to take two weeks off and was very swollen but I plan to recover just over the weekend. What can I expect?
I am 5day post op. Got the procedure done on my lower body - hips, thighs etc. Morning when I try to wake up, there is a lot of stiffness and pain (skin peeling feeling). It gets quite difficult to go to the loo. This gets better as I have tea, walk around a bit n as the day progresses. Mornings are horrible. It is slightly cold as well, not sure if this also has added up to the pain. Plz advise.
I got liposuction it's been 2 weeks so far I'm happy with my results but I am wondering if I am going to get any smaller . My waist now is 29 inches and hips 42 (had bbl and hip fat transfer) . I am grateful for my new figure but I am still hoping to get smaller . I barely had any bruising after lipo but there is still a little stiffness in certain abdominal areas . Would it be possible to lose a couple of more inches ? Or is this as good as it gets ?. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds
what kind of massage after lipo? lymphatic or more vigourous? some therapists say lymphatic gentle massage to help with swelling and if too firm you swell more and some say more vigorous to get rid of lumps and help with nerver damage. also how long before stiffness goes away? Re: exercise; my doc says do everything you did before lipo but I only had it done a week ago. is that safe?
About 3 weeks ago I began to feel extreme stiffness/tightness in my back and sides. I'm 6 weeks post op of a BBL. What can I do to relieve this pain? Its so uncomfortable. I had my procedure done in Miami but I love in DC. The doctor's office told me to send pics. How can I send pics of stiffness/soreness SMH. What can I do to relieve this pain. I've been getting about 2 massages a week, to no avail. Please give me some suggestions. I'm concerned about fluid build up but how can I be sure if I have it?
