Question

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Laser liposuction is an excellent procedure. There are many post-laser liposuction treatments that can complement the healing after liposuction including RF, US, and infrared therapy. Consult with your surgeon to determine your candidacy. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I have all my patients do liposuction in combination with radiofrequency treatments post liposuction at about 2-3 weeks.  you can immediately do ultrasound or massage therapy, but I suggest waiting to let all the initial swelling subside which can take a few weeks to a few months.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I see no benefit and see potential harm, so my vote is no.Never apply external heat after surgery!After liposuction, your skin may be numb for quite a while from both medications used during surgery and from temporary (mild) nerve damage.  Blood vessels also become erratic and can over-constrict. This can lead to the possibility of developing burns without being aware that you are being burnt. I have seen third-degree burns from heating pads after surgery, leading to grotesque disfigurement.  Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
