7 months post-op & separation of mons pubis after Vaser Lipo

Question

28F, never had childre. 6.5L of fat removed from stomach, flanks & mins pubis almost 7 months ago. Recovering well, however lower stomach and mons still hard and swollen, not painful but a little uncomfortable. Since surgery (about 4 days after) I developed a separation between lower stomach and upper moms pubis. Line an inch deep, stretching from almost hip to hip. How do I get this to go away? Would have thought swelling would be long gone by now, alas!

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

An in person evaluation is needed to determine what may be occurring with the separation that you described.  A firm feeling of the areas that were suctioned will likely soften over time with gentle stretching and massage.  I encourage you to visit with your surgeon for an assessment of your concerns.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Photos would have been very helpful. I really doubt that 6.5 liters of just fat was removed in one session unless you were done in the hospital and then spent the night receiving fluids. If truly that much fat was removed, you now have lots of loose skin and would benefit from a tummy tuck. I would suggest meeting with your surgeon.

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

Liposuction results are typically final by three months, and patients should not expect much difference by waiting further. Without seeing proper before and after pictures, we can’t begin to make an assessment regarding the outcome of your procedure. I don’t know what you mean when you say separation.
I suggest you follow up with your provider and have him or her address your concerns.
Best,
