Radio frequency skin tightening after liposuction of arms effective and when to start? (photo)

April 22, 2015
Asked By:jgmj in Denver, CO

I am 3.5 post op for Vaser liposuction of the arms. I am pretty happy with my results this far (attached picture is before and after) but wonder if skin doesn't tighten to my satisfaction if skin tightening with Velashape or something similar would be effective at all. When would you recommend I consider doing so if at all? Thank you so much!

What are treatments for seromas after VaserLipo (other than repeated aspirations)?
Hector Milla, MD says:

Hi John I´m sorry you are through this. Seroma happens due to the space created once the fat is removed. One simple option is to leave a closed drain for a few days until there is less than 25ml per day coming out. Best wishes.
