Thank you for your question. It all depends on a few factors like, how big is the burn, how severe is it, have you done any treatments to help with it? It's difficult to tell without a photo. Everybody heals different so an exact estimate can't be given. I would have it looked at by your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!Dhaval M.

This is tough to answer without pictures and requires an in-person evaluation. For these types of burns, I recommend silicone gel with growth factors and hyperbaric oxygen. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Any subsequent scarring can be improved with lasers and microneedling/prp. Best, Dr. Emer
It's hard to say without a photo. Smaller and more minor burns will heal quickly, under a week. Bigger ones can take 3 weeks or longer.The length of time to heal is an important factor in your ultimate scarring. If it heals in under a week, a poor scar or keloid scar is low. Once a burn takes longer than 3 weeks to heal, your chance of a bad scar significantly increases.Get started on treatment early. This means good early burn care. Then steroids and/or laser treatments. Pressure garments are also important for the lipo and the scar. Consider Epiderm as well. This scar product can be ordered at biodermis.com (a great product)Best wishes!Dr Chris Saunders
It's not really possible to say. It depends on the size of the burn, the severity, what you are doing to treat it, and how well you heal overall. I recommend following closely with your doctor and following their recommendations.Best,Dr. Dan KrochmalMAE Plastic SurgeryNorthbrook, IL

Certainly medications after surgery can cause reflux as well as the compression and swelling that goes along with liposuction. It also can be the stress of surgery itself, but the good news is there are medications that can help. I would ask your doctor about this.
Thanks for the question. Actually I advise my patients to stop drinking alcohol, coffee 5-7 days before their liposuction operation also you should stop taking any medications such as Aspirin and Vitamins. Therefore you should consult with your surgeon for a reminder form before surgery. I wi...
Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear that you are having issues. You are still very early in the process so you can expect a reduction in swelling up to 6 months. You can certainly wear your garment, it is unlikely to cause any problems. Best to be patient and check with your surg...
If anyone you know has experienced thyroid problems, they were not caused by having liposuction. Correlation does not equal causation. As far as long-term expectations in your case, you can expect to enjoy beautiful results for many years to come. If you continue to maintain your weight and...
