On 2/8/19, I had Smart Lipo performed on my flanks, upper and lower abs. On the third day, I noticed the dents on my stomach. The doctor assistant saw them and said they will go away after swelling and hardness softens up. I need to know what can I do now to fix this.

Answer: What can I do to smooth or remove dents from my abdomen that appeared after Smart Lipo? You need to post before photos sp that we can compare... There are 4 reasons for results like the ones posted. #1. Wrong operative choice of any type of liposuction technology where a full TT was a better option. #2. Inexperience in liposuction techniques. Understand it is NOT the technology used in liposuction but the surgeon preforming. #3. or a combination of #1, #2. Best to allow 3-6 months healing with aggressive massage therapy, fibrosis therapies, external ultrasound therapies. Than revision as a 'skin only full TT' or SAFE liposuction techniques to release fibrosis.

Answer: Concern 4 weeks after SMART lipo Hi and welcome to our forum! Congratulations on your recent procedure...The procedure of liposuction is an "insult" to the soft tissues, resulting in swelling which will initially totally obscure the operative result. A tight garment may exaggerate the appearance of the swollen lax tissue compressed beneath it. The purpose of a compression garment is to prevent bleeding and to control swelling. We usually recommend its use for the first 4-6 weeks after the procedure. 60-80% of the swelling should subside within the first 6 weeks, with the remainder slowly subsiding over 6-12 months. In order to control excessive swelling, we usually recommend the use of lymphatic massage, ultrasonic and radiofrequency energy treatments to hasten resolution. Continue followup care with your plastic surgeon... Best wishes...
