Will stretch marks smooth back out and will the creases go away once fully healed after Vaser liposuction and Renuvion?

Question

I am 13 days post op from Vaser Lipo and Renuvion. I know I’ve still got a long way to go for healing but am concerned to see the appearance of my stretch marks look worse at this point and I’m getting these creases/lines on my skin. I’ve been wearing the garment with foam and just took the foam off yesterday to see if that helps reduce the creasing. Will stretch marks smooth back out to look like they did prior to surgery once healed? And will these creases go away? What can I do?

It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. It will take 6 to 12 months to see the final outcome.I recommend following up with your physician about their suggested after care protocol. I have my patients wear compression for 3 to 6 weeks straight and then overnight for 3 to 6 months after their procedure. I suggest adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding Vanquish for further fat removal; truSculpt iD, Exilis, Forma, and Venus Legacy for additional skin tightening; and Cellutone / ZWave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance.See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

well, you just have to wait and see. BInders and foam can increase the irregularities,  usually temporarily  because they can crumple the skin If you were my pt I'd have you ditch the binder.
