4th day post op from Smart Lipo. Did I sit too long?

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to review the recovery guidelines and expectations.
Best wishes,

hello penelpek   Bruising and swelling are normal in the suctioned areas and usually increase slightly after the removal of any tape or foam. The bruising will decrease over 3-4 weeks, but may last as long as 6 weeks. The majority of the swelling will be gone within the first 3-4 weeks. However it may take 6-9 months to disappear completely. The compression garment helps reduce the swelling, and the longer it is worn, the more quickly the process will proceed. #post-op #swelling

Thank you for your question.It is normal to still have swelling. You are early in your recovery. Drink plenty of water, walk around and continue to wear your compression garment. Contact your surgeon with any questions or concerns. Best of luck!

Hi,It is fairly typical for patients to get swelling about 3-5 days post op and the results that you saw on day 1 seemed to have disappeared.  Rest assured it is the body's lag phase and that the swelling will dissipate over time.  Compression garment, and lymphatic massages will help with fluid drainage.  Hope this helps!

This can be typical after Smart Lipo. You will have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. Lymphatic massage and venus legacy treatments can give improvement. Keep in mind, Smart Lipo needs a combination approach to get the best results. I recommend adding thermage, ultherapy, exilis. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF is an alternative for contouring the chin, but would require more downtime. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
