I’m wondering if this is fat or swelling . Can fat come back to the areas treated shortly after lipo? It’s 21 days after my Vaser Lipo I didn’t carry too much fat but got rid of the stubborn fat in the lower abdominal and flanks area. My waist does look a tiny bit smaller but just worried I can still grab fat around the abdomen and flanks where fat was removed, I’m struggling to see the results! Can anyone help ?
Answer: Vaser liposuction vaser hi def 6 pack abdominal etching revision lipo swelling fat expert Thank you for your question regarding fat in the abdominal area after VASER liposuction. Based on your limited history and without physical examination or pictures, I believe you are still swollen. Since you are still only three weeks’ post-op and its to early to tell anything. For most patients, the swelling is gone at approximately six weeks. For other patients, the swelling may take eight to twelve months to subsidize after VASER liposuction. At this point in time, I would not worry. I would express your concerns, however, to your plastic surgeon. If you were my patient, I would suggest you undergo lymphatic massage for at least 5 treatments. I would suggest you continue to wear your garment until you are at least six to eight weeks post op. I would also suggest a high protein low carbohydrate diet, and aggressive exercise. In conclusion, it is too early to tell if this is fat or swelling. I hope it is just swelling. I hope I have answered your questions regarding swelling around the abdomen area after VASER liposuction. Please seek an experienced, board-certified plastic when seeking VASER liposuction surgery. If you have any more questions regarding VASER liposuction or plastic surgery, please call my office.

Answer: Vaser liposuction: fat or swelling hello southwestsMany studies indicate that there is also less injury than the traditional liposuction method resulting in less pain, swelling and bruising. Final results can be seen 2-4 months later as the swelling continues to diminish and contours become more defined. These contours can even improve throughout the year after surgery. #post-op #results
