I had Vaser lipo in September 2018 in the abdominal area and also flanks, no fat was transferred into any areas. My hips are noticeably uneven the right side looks much larger than the left. Is this a result of being swollen 4 months post-op? Or, is this bad lipo? It is very apparent in a tight dress, I uploaded a photo.

Answer: VASER Liposuction Results / Swelling Post-Lipo -- Compression, radiofrequency, Cellutone, ZWave / Lipo Revision Candidate Hi Frida, it's difficult to determine based on the photo you've posted. It's true that swelling post-lipo can last for 3 to 6 months, so it's important to be on the right after care protocols. For my patients, I always recommend compression to reduce swelling, radiofrequency treatments (like Venus Legacy, Exilis, and Forma), and lymphatic massage to get you through healing.Ultimately, if you're unhappy with your results, I suggest that you speak to your physician and ensure that he/she was a full body VASER Hi-Definition liposuction expert with extensive experience in body shaping and not just traditional fat reduction. If necessary, you can always get a revision procedure by an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: My hips look uneven after Vaser Lipo, I am 4 months post-op: is this bad lipo or just swelling? Thank you for your question. The photo you posted is not adequate to make a decision on it. 4 months out, you should be close to your final result. If you have asymmetry now, you will always have the asymmetry even if the swelling is gone. The VASER is a tool that a well trained plastic surgeon can use to deliver excellent body sculpting results. That being said, not everyone who owns a VASER knows how to use it appropriately and to it's maximum effect.Discuss your concerns with your surgeon or seek a second opinion. Good luck.
