I had the sculpsure done on sat, 2/11/17 just on U/L abs. I am swollen and a little tender. The swollen part bothers me since I know this happens only to a few people. How long does swelling typically last for? Is there something I can do to help reduce it? Also, how long does tenderness last for? I have something coming up a few weeks and I don't want to be big and puffy. I'm drinking a lot more water and massaging twice a day. Any advice would help! Thanks!

Answer: Nodules and tenderness after SculpSure Some patients do feel tenderness and have nodules after Sculpsure treatments. The nodules are from the destroyed fat cells which are being processed and removed naturally from your body's lymphatic system (inflammatory response). They are temporary and can last for a few days/weeks which varies individually. You are doing the right thing by drinking more water and massaging twice a day. Your body is responding to the treatment and you should get great results.

Answer: Post op swelling & tenderness It sounds as if you are doing what you need to do although you may want to consider adding a professional lymphatic massage to your repertoire. For most patients, the swelling and tenderness only lasts for a few days so my hope is that you should be back to normal in plenty of time for your event, but every patient does heals at a different rate. Best of luck and just remember that your results will be worth it -- Dr. Sean Doherty
