How Long After Lipo Can I Have Carboxy Therapy?

alf82May 30, 2011
I have recently had water assisted lipo on my thighs which has resulted to large fat deposts below my bottocks- in fact my results look worse than before I had surgery. I am considering carboxy therapy to help with my results. How long can I have this after lipo. Its been 3 weeks now since my operation.
