I am 6 weeks post vaser. My healing was going very well and the results were fantastic. I am still wearing the garment but my 4d compression belt broke. I am trying to get a new belt. I suddenly swelled up, you can see from these pictures. Do you think this would have compromised my final results? I am hoping with a tighter garment and a new 4d foam vest they I will go back to normal?

Answer: Swelling after liposuction While the great majority of swelling has usually settle down by six weeks final results take 3 to 6 months.I ask my patients to wear compression garments for two weeks and longer if they find them helpful.I don't believe it compression garments have any impact on final outcomes.They can keep swelling down during the healing process.Swelling is our bodies response to inflammation and is part of normal healing.Healing simply takes time after liposuction. You should look forward to it improvements with time and if you found wearing the compression to be helpful I see no reason why you could not continue to do so.Always a good idea to check in with your plastic surgeon if you have concerns about your procedure or your results.Best,Mats Hagstrom M.D.
