3 weeks post lipo and J-Plasma: pigmentation and wrinkling. (Photos)

Question

I’m 3 wks post ab Vaser Lipo+J Plasma. The goal was to tighten the skin as much as possible w/o a TT . I know I’m still early in recovery but I’m concerned about the dark and wrinkly skin. All other Lipo pics I see have little to no pigment issues. I think my skin burned after the procedure because I had red patches soon after (you can still see a bit of it and my skin is peeling). I wear a CG+foam 24/7. Will the wrinkling and dark skin get better along with the swelling and lumpiness?

At 3 weeks out you are much too early to know what the final results will be.Without a preop pic it is hard to determine how much pigmentation that you had prior.  I would recommend lymphatic massages and RF skin tightening treatments post op to help with the wrinkled skin.

Hello faby0316It is too early in recovery to be sure of the final result of your surgery but always contact your surgeon about your concern. #post-op #swelling

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. I recommend 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, 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

You needed skin reduction surgery at the same time to your Vaser liposuction to remove your poor texture skin.  To correct your issue you need to wait a month and get a full tummy tuck to remove that skin in order to maximize your results.  Contact a Vaser specialist via Skype or FaceTime to discuss your case in further detail.
