12 days postop still using garment and phone compression put on regular underwear and clothes to run errands for a few hours came back to a dent in my side. Is this normal? Can it be fixed without invasive or revision procedure?
Answer: Liposuction Results & After care includes RF treatments (Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra) Cellutone/zwave, hyperbaric oxygen Compression garments, if they don't fit correctly, can cause dents. I recommend following up with your Doctor about your compression garment. I recommend double compression with foam under to protect the skin. For liposuction after care, I recommend your compression and adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Dents during the initial healing stage of liposuction Dents or any other types of skin asymmetries are fairly common after liposuction. However, most resolve on their own after several weeks or months as the patient moves forward to her recovery.

Answer: Normal healing process The lumpiness, swelling, itching and hardness after a surgery like you had typically persists at least 8 weeks after the surgery then slowly goes away. In my experience, daily massage of the hard areas makes the biggest difference in getting rid of it sooner rather than later. Staying away from salt will make a big difference in swelling. It can easily take 6 months or more to see results. Be sure to keep any scheduled follow up appointments you have with your surgeons for his evaluation and advice. Hope this helps.
