I am 6 weeks out from my VASER liposuction of outter thighs, inner thighs, lower abdomen and flanks. I'm worried because I see zero change. I feel like I look the exact same as I did when I went in and I weigh the same. No one has even noticed or complimented me. Also, I am lumpy and bumpy in my stomach area (which I hear is normal). I have also noticed that my skin is darker on flanks and outter thighs. It almost looks like a birth mark but is not a bruise anymore. Will all of this resolve?

Answer: Healing post Vaser liposuction Thank you for your question.Result of any body sculpting procedure including Vaser liposuction depend on many factors: how much fat was removed, what your body shape was before surgery (if you were already not too bad in shape before surgery any liposuction will not alter your silhouette noticeably).Skin thickness and elasticity -thinner skin will re-drape post surgery less favourably. Type of body sculpting you had- High definition gives more contouring leaving almost only skin and muscle behind. De-bulking Vaser will just reduce thickness of adipose tissue layer.In a study of 100 patients followed up after Vaser operation in our clinic we identified following regarding recovery, swelling, lumpiness can last up to 42 days , any residual unevenness after that is unlikely to change significantly-so contact your surgeon to assess the situation and plan action to remedy.Unevenness is possible after any type of liposuction and Vaser is not an exception , although considered to have less risk of that.Skin discolouration (darkening, mottling or hypo-pigmentation) is common again after any liposuction in people of skin types 3 to 6 (darker skin tones). It tends to improve but might take longer than 6 months.
