Hi, there is no change and serious bruising. I got laser lipo done three days ago with the aim to get rid of my pooch and flanks. Three days later and I have serious bruising in my pelvic area- pooch is gone but my flanks appear bigger! Do you think he didn’t do the flanks at all?

Answer: Liposuction recovery It is very easy to get nervous after surgery, and forget about the natural healing process of our bodies.Swelling starts to go down around 2wks and main healing continues to improve over the next 6-8wks.Wearing tight smooth compression and exercise are what I recommend to my patients.Talk to you Surgeon to discuss how you are feeling.Best.

Answer: 3 days is way too soon to judge your results The flank area is usually slower to respond to liposuction, compared to the abdominal area. This is because this area is more fibrous (you can easily feel the difference between the fat in the abdominal area compared to the flank area). it can often take anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months to start to see the difference in the flank area. You will continue to improve for 6 months after Smartlipo, so you need to be patient. Also you already have a very good figure so it can take longer for someone like you to see a difference, compared to someone who is much heavier. Bruising is not uncommon and is just a reflection of a small amount of bleeding in the soft tissue. it will go away in 2-3 weeks.david berman md
