I am 21 days post op for smart lipo on my abdomen and flanks and I have large indents on my sides and my stomach is swollen. I am worried that my compression garment is too tight. My doctor advised me to wear one full body black garment that is similar to a body suit and a binder on my abdomen on too of the compression garment. The binder digs into my sides when I sit at work. Is it too soon to stop wearing compression garments? I had 3,000 cccs removed with the tumescent fluid and the fat.

Thank you for your interesting question. I would imagine that if your medical conditions, particularly your glucose levels, are under good control and monitoring, you would be a candidate for a variety of procedures. Liposuction could be performed, and then that fat used as a filler material for...
Injecting Botox into the temporalities muscle can decrease its volume. This is simple a simple procedure. There is really very little fat in the temporal region. Liposuction would be of no benefit.
I believe I've tried most approaches to liposuction. I've settled upon conventional liposuction assisted mechanically. I would focus more upon the surgeon in the results rather than a specific technique. The best technique in the hands of the lousy surgeon is going to leave the poor result.
