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
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.
Yes this can for sure be the case. all of my liposuction patients are directed in a proper low salt high protein diet with exercise after liposuction and get diuretics to decrease swelling faster. I would speak to your treating physician if you are concerned. Best, Dr. Emer.
The effects of laser liposuction and fat cavitation have not been studied as they relate to pregnancy and breastfeeding. Best,Dr. Karamanoukian
This is not a normal presentation after liposuction and should be immediately seen by your surgeon or an emergency room physician. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian
Hi, for your guidance, patients should be aware that liposuction is NOT a method of weight loss and muscle toning, or an alternative to diet and exercise. It does not affect one's metabolism. Regular exercise and diet is still recommended in maintaining good and lasting liposuction results. Whe...
I have found that smartlipo can help tighten loose skin by 15% to 40%, therefore it may be suitable for mild to moderate loose skin. A lift may be better for you if you have severe sagging skin.
Bruising is quite common after liposuction. We would recommend application of Plato's Bruise Balm for the bruises as it contains both Arnica and Bromelain. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
