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

Laser lipo can cause a lot of irritation resulting in swelling and induration which is a localisation of white blood cells, engorged vessels and localized swelling. This can persist for many months. After one year if you still have some irregularities, the areas might need a slight touch up.
