Good evening. I am 3 weeks and a day post lipo from my abdomen and back with bbl. At a week post op, the swelling subsided enough to reveal a 'pocket' that was 60% surrounded by a taught and ropey feeling area that is still a bit bruised. I do not live near my PS and a pop in visit would be difficult. I am doing massage 3-4 days a week along with self massage in the shower nightly. I have had 3 sessions of LPG as well. I am worried that the area will not heal. All advice is greatly appreciated!

Answer: Concerned about potential fat pocket 3 weeks post lipo/bbl?
Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well..
Stop using Multivitamin (because the Vitamin E and A) at least 2 weeks before surgery.
What you should bring:
Iron, Vitamin C, Complex B. omeprazol
Feminine Pads
Compression socks
Body wipes
Face towels
Tooth...
The swelling can be significant following surgery, and this may not be an issue. You should be evaluated for fluid collection as well. I would try to email or call the surgeon. Surgeons want to know about potential problems.
