At 3 weeks post op it is normal to be swollen I recommend you visit your PS to discuss your concerns and maybe change you garment for a different one, best of luck.
It takes months for the swelling to go down after liposuction. I suggest seeing an epert for post operative care to speed up the healing process, with radiofrequency treatments, massage, and compression. Best, Dr. Emer.
Thank you for your questions. I understand that the swelling can be frustrating but it can often take 3-6 months to resolve so try to be patient and follow your surgeon's instructions for recovery.Best of luck!
cs9876. I appreciate your concern, but BBL is a lot of surgery!. There is significant liposuction involved and swelling takes a long time to resolve. You are describing normal findings after this operation. Try to stay patient and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck.
Hello and thank you for the question. You are still too early in the healing process. It can take several months to see the final results after liposuction. I would be more patient. Wearing compression garment helps. Stay in touch with your surgeon to guide you through this process. Best,Pejman Aflaki, M.D.Johns Hopkins-trained plastic surgeon
As you swell after surgery, the kinesio tape may provide a a focal point for shearing forces which could cause your skin to blister. There are no shortcuts to healing!
I think you nailed it when you said in your question it is rare to find a surgeon familiar with liposuction of the area. If it worked well we would all be doing it. No one tries it more than once because it results in a very unhappy patient. I hope you are not going to be one of those unhappy...
In 10 years i havent had any serious complications or death from liposuction. I suggest you see an excellent surgeon. If you are not prepared mentally do not go forward with surgery till you are. Best, Dr. Emer.
