BBL and lipo my arms legs and torso are hard as a brick. Would a hand help cavitation machine help?

Question

So i had a BBL done, but my arm, legs and  torso are hard as a brick. i’ve been massaging it but it’s still hard . if i buy a hand held cavitation machine will that help?

Swelling will resolve in its own time (3 to 6 months), and hard lumps will probably resolve as well.  Best to follow up with your PS regarding compression garments and massaging.

Hi, thanks for posting. I'm assuming you had liposuction in those areas. Another important piece of information is how long ago your surgery was. It's comment to have swelling and even some firmness of the areas that were treated. "Hard as a brick" would be considered unusual by many surgeons. Compression garments that fit the areas, and sometimes massage is helpful. Ultimately, you need to ask your surgeon this question and be seen in person to assess.

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

R it's common for patients to develop firmness after liposuction. This will dissipate over the next 6 to 8 weeks. Be patient. Follow up with your plastic surgeon. Best, Mats Hagstrom M.D.
