Bruising and #swelling are normal and usually increase slightly after the removal of any tape or foam. The bruising will decrease over 3-4 weeks, but may last as long as 6 weeks. The majority of the swelling will be gone within the first 3-4 weeks. However, it may take 6-9 weeks to disappear completely. Swelling after #Vaser liposelection is not uncommon. Gentle #walking may increase circulation and help to alleviate swelling. But you must not strain or push yourself. Also, if you were provided a post-procedure #garment, be sure you are wearing it until prescribed otherwise by your doctor. The purpose of the post-procedure #garment is to provide some gentle #support and to reduce swelling. If it feels too tight or causes pain, take it off. Many patients wear the #elastic garment for several weeks after procedures, as directed by their doctor; some choose to wear it longer for several months for comfort.The #compression garment helps reduce the swelling, and the longer it is worn, the more quickly you will #heal. It can also assist in the retraction of the skin. If you have any concerns about #healing, its best to ask questions of your surgeon or their nursing staff. The final results of the procedure are typically most noticeable 2-4 months following the #Vaser. As swelling gradually diminishes, the contours of the treated area(s) will continue to improve up to one year post procedure. If you have concerns about your healing, or pain that you question to be unusual, it is important to call your plastic surgeon to discuss these further asked to be examined. It's best, in this situation, to be seen and #evaluated by your doctor or their staff to confirm as to whether you have a serious issue that requires further medical attention. The sooner, the better. If at any time you have any concern at all about your #healing process, do not hesitate to contact your surgeon. The sooner, the better.
