I have done ultrasound once a week for 7 weeks . Wore compression garment . Now doc had me buy a small round paint roll too use on my tummy 4 times a day at 20 mins each .
Answer: Dent Thank you for your question and photos. It may take 4-6 months for all of the residual swelling to resolve after a Tummy Tuck. Post-operatively compression garments and massage are used to help speed recovery and decrease edema. With isolated areas of indentation that do not resolve with time fat grafting may be used to improve those areas. Given that you are only 7 weeks out from surgery I would continue with massage as recommended by your surgeon.Best of luck.

Answer: Had Tummy tuck and Lipo 9 weeks ago . How do you get rid of a dent and edema ? Thank you for your question and photographs. If you still have noticeable swelling, I would recommend you continue to wear a compression garment of some kind for your comfort. It is too soon to determine the cause of the dent on your abdomen, as once your swelling resolves the dent may improve. If it doesn't , either additional liposuction to help smooth the area may be required, or fat grafting to help restore any tissue that was suctioned from this area.

Answer: How do you get rid of a dent and edema? Compression garments are the most common treatment after surgery to help alleviate swelling (edema). Regarding the dent, you will simply have to allow more time to pass so the swelling is gone. The dent may improve with time. Best of luck with your continued recovery!
