Crease above belly button after lipo? (Photo)

Question

Heya. I had lipo 2 weeks ago but I have a line crease above my belly button. Why is that? Could it be because I'm swollen still? I get really paranoid :(

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

You can have swelling for 3-6 months after your procedure. This could be due to your compression garment. I would contact your Dr. to talk about aftercare in order to reduce swelling. I recommend adding RF treatments (Venus Legacy, Exilis, Ultra, Vanquish) along with shock/vibration therapy Cellutone/z wave and hyperbaric oxygen with your compression in order to decrease swelling and improve results. Best, Dr. Emer

Its because your swollen and also possibly from the binder/garment your wearing.  Make sure to sit or stand up straight in order to minimize the risk of the skin folding onto itself.
