What should I do about my uneven flanks? (Photo)

October 28, 2015
Asked By:diane9_ in Florida, NY

On Aug 27,2015 about 9 weeks post I had lipo to my right and left flank. They have been uneven since the very first day after surgery. I did have a follow up with my Dr. That lasted 1minute and 30sec after driving 4 hours away and waiting 3 hours to see him. He was very busy and didn't have time to talk to me.

Jason Emer, MD says:

This needs lymphatic massage, drainage daily and tight compression.  It will take weeks for it to resolve.  A close watch should be placed on this.  If it continues to recur then placing a drain may help resolution.  Best, Dr. emer.

How snug should a compression garment fit?
Peter J. Capizzi, MD says:

Your compression garment should be moderately tight, but should not constrict your movement or hinder your breathing. I would recommend talking to your surgeon and see if you can exchange it for a larger size.
