My left side of my abdomen seems more swollen than the right is that okay?
Answer: Post lipo Thanks for the question, the sides of our bodies almost always heal a bit differently, it can have to do with which side you sleep on and thus have more swelling on one side vs less swelling on the other, should be totally fine!

Answer: After 360 lipo is it common to be swollen more on one side? Thank you for your question. The swelling after any surgical procedure is not symmetric or uniform. If, however one of the lower legs is exceptionally swollen you should see your Plastic Surgeon right away. Asymmetric swelling of the abdomen is not a major concern at this time. If the swelling increases in one area however, you should see your Plastic Surgeon because of the possibility of a seroma. All The Best !

Answer: Lipo 360 Swelling & After care includes RF treatments (Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra) Cellutone/zwave, hyperbaric oxygen Yes, swelling can be asymmetrical and can last 3-6 months after Smart Lipo. Compression along with lymphatic massage may give improvement. It really is too soon to tell what your final results will be.be. For best results with treatments like Lipo 360, I recommend adding a combination of radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. In order to get the best results, a VASER HI DEF procedure is needed to get more contouring and definition. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Asymmetrical swelling Dear Thickass_,it is not uncommon to be more swollen on one side. I would suggest you to keep following your surgeon's instructions and wear compression garments.
