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: Results from Lipo - Healing process At 3 days post-op you are still experiencing a lot of swelling and it is too early to see your results. You should be wearing a compression garment at all times for minimally a month after your procedure - this is going to aid in the healing process and also maximize your results. Once the swelling comes down and your new "figure" is more defined you will have a better idea of how your results look. Continue to go to your scheduled follow-ups and address any concerns you may have with your surgeon.

Answer: Post Lipo - Lymphatic Massage, Hyperbaric Oxygen, RF (Venus Legacy, Exilis, Vanquish, InMode Forma), Cellutone/Z Wave/Evive If you are unhappy with your results please speak to your physician and ensure he was a full body VASER HD liposuction physciain wtih expensive experience in body shaping and not just traditional fat reduction. At this point you should be using compression, RF treatments like venus legacy / exilis ultra / inmode forma or contoura and lymphatic massage to get you through healing. We always add shock wave therapy such as cellutone, z wave, and eclipse evive to help prvent scar tissue formation and ensure an even and smooth result. It will take 6-12 months to see the final outcome. If you are unhappy you can get a revision procedure by an expert in VASER HD lipo. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Healing process Hello there! I would not be concerned at this time. Liposuction takes time to heal, and you are likely very swollen at this time. Bruising always "falls" to the lowest point, so bruising where you are seeing it is very normal. I would not expect to see changes for at least several weeks, with improvements continuing to be seen for up to 6 months. Cheers! Sarah RN BSN

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
