Will a 2nd treatment help or make this worse?

Question

After several weeks I still have large nodules in abdomen.

Stephen Giordano, DO · Answer

It is common that patients report the development of bumps and nodules on the skin. These can be massaged and will go away on their own. I would recommend increasing your water intake as well. I hope this helps. Best wishes!

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

It is possible to develop nodules in an area treated by SculpSure.  I have never seen these not go away over time.  It is thought that massaging them helps them to go away faster.  I would recommend waiting until the nodules have resolved before treating the area again.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

It can take 3-6 months for final results. 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

Nodules may occur with non-invasive laser fat removal, and will likely completely go away.  You should hydrate and massage the area to help with the recovery.  We recommend continuing with your next treatment once the nodule has resolved.

Anya Rose, MD · Answer

Nodules after noninvasive fat destruction is common.  I would recommend that you wait until the nodules are gone before starting your next treatment.  Keep drinking water and massaging the area and that should help speed the recovery.
