I am experiencing a horrible feeling of tightness and contraction from my lower stomach to ribs to the point that if I’ve been sitting down for a period of time, that I can’t fully stand up straight. My compression garment feels more comfortable to wear now so I’m guessing the swelling is going down so I’m concerned about the tightness being scar tissue which is contracting under my skin and causing this feeling of pulling. Is it normal to feel this?
Answer: Vaser liposuction hello adotx Many studies indicate that there is also less injury than the traditional liposuction method resulting in less pain, swelling and bruising. Final results can be seen 2-4 months later as the swelling continues to diminish and contours become more defined. You should visit or contact your plastic surgeon about this concern. #post-op #stomach

Answer: Pain & Tightness after Liposuction--Add Radiofrequency, Thermage, Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra, hyperbaric oxygen Yes, this can be typical after liposuction. Pain can be variable for patients who have had liposuction. If necessary, this pain can be treated with anti-inflammatory medications and neurontin. If it persists, I recommend following up with your Doctor. It can take 3-6 months for final results with liposuction. I suggest lymphatic massage, hyperbaric oxygen, and RF treatments like venus legacy to help reduce any 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: Tighltness after Vaser Lipo I tell my patients to expect what you are describing. Usually, about two weeks after Vaser Lipo, people feel tight, fibrotic tissue in the area that was treated. This is part of the healing process and very normal. I recommend heating pads to the area several times daily, as well as massage. This will help the fibrotic tissue to break up a bit more quickly. However, even if left alone, it will eventually go away on its own.You should still be wearing your compression garment at least 10 hours a day. Certainly, follow up with your provider if you feel that the tightness does not get better with massage and heat.

Answer: 2 WEEKS POST VASER LIPOSUCTION Thank you for your question, at two weeks post Vaser Liposuction, it is normal to have the sensations you are describing. At two weeks, you can start massaging the areas where the lipo was performed. Compression is important. Check with your Plastic Surgeon, he or she may suggest professional massaging.
