Jason Emer, MD · Answer

It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. 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

Hello nataliemusFinal results would be seen after total recovery, but always contact your surgeon about your concern..

Hello nataliemus, 
It’s a pleasure to answer your questions! Six days is too short of a time to evaluate your VASER Liposuction final outcome. Maximum results will take up to 6 months to show. Swelling, pain, bruising, and numbness are common temporary side effects after VASER Liposuction, but will decrease with each passing day. Your body may look swollen for months; however, after 6 months you might appreciate your new and amazingly contoured figure. I would recommend you wearing specialized compression garments around the clock, for 6 months, and getting at least ten lymphatic drainage massage sessions to completely alleviate the swelling and discomfort. Refrain from strenuous activity for the first month after surgery and contact your surgeon promptly if you notice an increase in swelling, pain, redness, drainage, or bleeding in the surgical area, or if you develop fever (above 100.4 F), dizziness, nausea, or vomiting. Hope this is helpful! Dr. De La Cruz.

Your shape has change and I can see that you are very likely to get a pleasing outcome. Your body needs time to heal. I encourage manual lymphatic drainage sessions or pressotherapy to my patients for 2-4 weeks post op. Can even carry on longer if the budget allows. Your treating surgeon will review you in due course and I am sure by 8 weeks you should see more obvious results.

Vaser liposuction results are dramatic and appear briefly at the first appointment; but swelling does set in and results can become blunted at 1 week until 1 month; Near final results are appreciated at three weeks especially if you start working out by 3 weeks from surgery.
