Had liposuction and BBL 3months ago in the Houston area. My stomach looks ruined. It feels hard as a rock, totally unnatural. The dr keeps telling me it will go away, but I think he is lying to me. I can’t even wear a bathing suit now. Can this be fixed?

Answer: Concerns After Liposuction Thank for your question and photos!! I would suggest you wait another couple of months more. This is not your final results. You are still very swollen, I recommend to massage the are 2 to 3 times a day to see if things smooth out a bit faster and to wear the compression garment 24/7. Hope this helps. Best Luck!

Answer: Post-Liposuction After Care -- Compression, Lymphatic Massage, Hyperbaric Oxygen, Radiofrequency (Venus Legacy, Exilis, Forma) Sorry to hear about your post-lipo experience thus far. It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You likely have swelling, which can last 3 to 6 months after your procedure. It will take 6 to 12 months to see the final outcome.I recommend following up with your physician about their suggested after care protocol. I have my patients wear compression for 3 to 6 weeks straight and then overnight for 3 to 6 months after their procedure. I suggest 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; truSculpt iD, Exilis, Forma, and Venus Legacy for additional skin tightening; and Cellutone / ZWave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance.Ultimately, if you are unhappy with your results, please speak to your physician and ensure that he/she was a full body VASER Hi-Definition liposuction physician with extensive experience in contouring and body shaping -- and not just traditional fat reduction. You can always get a revision procedure by an expert if needed. Best, Dr. Emer
