I had vaser lipo 8 weeks ago. I wore the compression garment for 6 weeks and have been having lymphatic drainage massage weekly. For 8 weeks I have been stuck At home in my pyjamas., nothing in my wardrobe fits me. I can't get my skinny jeans past my hips. I am bigger not smaller and very very depressed about how much money I have spent to look fatter. I weighed 119lb before and now I'm 125lb. If I need to go out I can only wear lounge pants an tshirts. My surgeon no longer answers my emails

Answer: Vaser Lipo The recovery from Vaser Liposuction varies tremendously from person to person. While many people are seeing good results by week 5 or 6, I do occasionally have patients that are "fatter" for 10-12 weeks. The lymphatic drainage massages are a good idea. I also recommend that you walk as much as possible starting the day after the surgery. This helps to decrease the swelling more quickly. In addition, holding heating pads to the area and doing self-massage can increase blood flow, which also speeds up the healing. I would recommend putting on the sweat pants and a t-shirt and getting outside for 1-2 hours of walking a day. I think you should also call the surgeon's office and schedule a follow-up appointment so that you can talk to him or her about his in person.Best of luck to you.

Answer: Fatter with VASER lipo? It is not possible to be fatter following VASER lipo as the fat is removed maximally; what you are observing is swelling; you need to cut down on your salt intake and start exercising; your swelling can take upto 3 months to resolve; if you want to see what you will look like ask your surgeon for his immediate postoperative photos; we always take these to show you so that you can appreciate what was accomplished for you.
