Is this the line where the cannula was from lipo? (photo)

Question

Will this line go away? When I press over it it feels like the was the space where the canal was for a longer period of time

hello newtitties101  Numbness around suction area will improve a few weeks after the procedure; lumpiness will also decrease with time although massaging can quicken the softening. Incision sites heals gradually, within 6-12 months the scars will be generally very less noticeable. #cannula #post-op

Thank you for your pictures and questions. I am not sure how far out from surgery you are but it appears recent. What is visible in the picture may be due to early bruising and I would not get too worried at this point. I would just be patient and continue to follow with your surgeon.Best of luck!

It's difficult to tell from your picture, but this looks like it may be bruising. If you're concerned, I recommend following up with your Doctor. Keep in mind, it is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. 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. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
