Answer: Belly Sticking Out 4 Days Post Vaser Lipo Swelling after #Vaser liposuction 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 final results of the procedure are typically most noticeable 2-4 months following the #Vaser. So, you must have patience. The swelling will gradually diminish while the contours of the treated area(s) can continue to improve up to one year post procedure; becoming more apparent in appearance. 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.

Answer: Too soon to judge Hi,Most patients look more swollen after the procedure and being that you are 4 days post procedure you are way too early to be concerned. Everyone swells at a different rate, some more than others. It will take a good 4-6 months before you get to your end point. In the mean time it is a good idea to get lymphatic massages which will help decrease the fluid in the regions where you had vaser completed. Also, I would recommend using your compression garment around the clock, until you see your surgeon for your post op!
