I had Smart Lipo and belly button revision (sewed up belly button piercing) done 1 month ago by a reputable Dr. I am slim, 5’1 and 106 pounds. My skin has wrinkled terribly 2 weeks after the procedure and keeps getting worse. I did not have any initial bruising but just got 2 large bruises yesterday (1 month post op). Why did I bruise 1 month later? And with the degree of deep wrinkles will they truly ago away? Images shown are before and after procedure.

Laser Lipolysis can be applied for lipolysis and for tightening. This treatment does swelling on tissues in postop peried becouse of heating. The swelling increases more on the first week and the swelling will be in maximum level in the first month. Than it will start to decrease after one month...
Hello and thank you for your question.Yes, you can tan after having smart lipo. I suggest putting sunblock on the incision sites to keep them from burning. Contact your surgeon with any concerns. Best of luck!
Usually the drainage stops by the next day. You may just be having a bit of drainage from the incision, which is not uncommon and this will resolve on its own and is nothing to worry about. IF it persists, simply see your surgeon and let him examine you.david berman md
