Hello I got arm lipo on Jan 14 and wore my garment everyday for my 4 weeks and I get my massages but I noticed my left arm had wrinkling looking, I’m not sure what it is with my arm, my massage lady said it’s not fibrousis
Answer: Lipo recovery It can take several months longer for swelling to completely resolve on a microscopic level, and your skin can take longer than that to fully retract and tighten. Wait 6-9 months, then discuss your results with your surgeon if you still have concerns.

Answer: Post-Liposuction Arm After Care -- Compression, Lymphatic Massage, Hyperbaric Oxygen, Radiofrequency (Venus Legacy, Exilis) It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You likely have swelling, which can last 3 to 6 months after your procedure.I recommend following up with your physician about their suggested after care protocol. I have my patients wear compression for 3 to 6 weeks straight then overnight for 3-6 months after their procedure. I suggest 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; truSculpt iD, Exilis, Forma, and Venus Legacy for additional skin tightening; and Cellutone / ZWave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance.Ultimately, if you are unhappy with your results, please speak to your physician and ensure that he/she was a full body VASER Hi-Definition liposuction physician with extensive experience in contouring and shaping -- and not just traditional fat reduction. You can always get a revision procedure by an expert if needed. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Liposuction Recovery I appreciate your concern, however it is still fairly early in your recovery journey from liposuction. It can take as long as six months for all swelling to resolve and skin to retract and all scar tissue to soften. Too Early to evaluate your results now. Try to stay patient and positive and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Loose skin after liposuction Dear nlpL7g6adi,Thank you for your question. After liposuction skin can become loose and stretch marks can become more visible. Any liposuction consultation should include a discussion about skin elasticity. I would return to your surgeon and discuss if you have not already.Good luck,Nirmal R.
