Question

What creams are good to put on liposuction areas for a good healing process ?

Thomas Fiala, MD, FACS, FRCSC · Answer

Creams can moisturize your skin, and assist with your massage of the treated areas.However, there really aren't any creams, oils or lotions that have been scientifically proven to help speed up "healing" or make swelling resolve faster.Best of luck with your recovery!

Thanks for the question, my lymphatic massage therapist really likes emu oil and frankincense to help stimulate the lymphatic system during massage to reduce scarring

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend Silagen + Bioshield to promote healing. For liposuction after care, 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

Daniel Schmid, MD · Answer

I usually recommend aquafor on the incision sites.  Doing lymphatic massage 2-3 weeks after lipo can really help the swelling come down and improve the contour.  Good luck.
