The first few days I felt great with with a smooth flat stomach. Today my stomach is now is stiff, extremely swollen, and with bumps? Shoould I be worried or is this part of the healing process?
Answer: Liposuction Yes, it is expected to be swollen and lumpy at this early time in your healing. Do wear your compression garment faithfully, and do massages to help decrease the swelling. Avoid excess activities like running and aerobics for now.

Answer: Post Op Swelling Thank you for your question! Feeling "tight" and swollen is extremely common after tumescent liposuction. We recommend our patients manually massage all the areas of liposuction multiple times a day with firm pressure. In addition, we recommend lymphatic massage to facilitate drainage. Plenty of water and wearing your garment as much as possible will help keep the swelling at a manageable. After these measures are taken and your swelling is still uncomfortable, be sure to visit the board certified plastic surgeon who performed your procedure for evaluation. Good luck, congratulations on your procedure!

Answer: Swelling after Liposuction & After care includes RF treatments (Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra) Cellutone/zwave, hyperbaric oxygen 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
