How to get rid of edema 7 months post op from thigh lipo? (Photo)

Dear snatched1980,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

It's difficult to determine what may be occurring. You can consider lymphatic massage to help with edema as well as compression. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to determine if you are a candidate for further liposuction.

The 1 posted photo of no help. Either repost better photos or seek in person or virtual consultations with...I think correct liposuction with aggressive massages and external ultrasound most likely will give better results.

The upper in the fire is not respond welcome Liposuction.
8000+ I’ve never seen somebody develop edema from the procedure.
I think it’s far more likely that with your thing lack of results that impression is looking like redundant tissue.
Liposuction results start approaching final results by six weeks and my three month but people don’t see any change.
The area you had treated is sort of known for not delivering the results people I hope for.
Edema tends to travel down the tissues with gravity and will accumulate in the lower position.
My best guess is this is simply the result and not chronic edema,
Follow up with your provider I consider having a few second opinion consultations with other board-certified plastic surgeons in your community.
Reports and exams like an MRI calling something Adema needs to be put in perspective other surrounding tissues.
Incisions being left or open would not change the outcome.
You chose to have Liposuction in the mail yet but typically doesn’t give a great results.
During consultations I sometimes set expectations for inner thigh liposuction by challenging my patients to find a single five star review for inner thigh liposuction results anywhere on the Internet.
Best,
