I had liposuction down about 4 days ago. I know it's way too soon to tell any results but I'm worried that the area looks even bigger and is swollen more on one side than the other. I don't know how much fat the Dr. took off but I saw some results in my abdomen right away but not in my pubic area. This was my main area of concern. Is there a certain way I'm supposed to sit or lay so this area gets flat and fast and swelling go down? Also by looking at the picture do you think it'll be completely flat?
Answer: I had liposuction on Mons Pubis. How do I make the post-op swelling go down? How to sleep/lay? Dear Reader,It is definitely too soon to assess the outcome of your surgery. Often the area that swells the most is the most dependent (or area lowest on the body) area...which in this case may be your pubis. Give it more time and relax. Good luck and be safe.Respectfully, John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic SurgeonAmerican Board of Plastic SurgeryAmerican Board of Surgery

Answer: Swelling after Liposuction--After care includes RF treatments (Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra) Cellutone/zwave, hyperbaric oxygen Yes, you have swelling which will persist 3-6 months after your procedure. For liposuction after care, 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. It looks like you needed a tummy tuck however. I suggest you speak to your physician. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Liposuction - Post Op Swelling Thank you for your question. You should expect to have swelling for three to six months following liposuction. Use of a properly fitted compression garment will help decrease the length and severity of the post-operative swelling. As the swelling decreases, the contour will dramatically improve. Please follow your plastic surgeons specific advice regarding your level of physical activity. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.

Answer: Swelling of the mons pubis after liposuction surgery Swelling is not uncommon after liposuction, especially in the first few weeks postop. Over time, it will resolve on its own. However, low sodium diet, good hydration, and light exercise remain important to promote healing.
