Thank you for your question. In general, I tell all my liposuction patients (whether VASER or other) to anticipate a deep, "achey" type of pain as soon as the numbing solution wears off. This is usually worse for the first 24-48 hours and then it should begin to improve dramatically over the next few days and weeks. So, if this burning pain you describe is something new or has been worsening, I would recommend getting in touch with your surgeon's office soon. On the other hand, at 11 days out from surgery, the inflammatory response is most likely at its peak and the treated areas may feel hard and rubbery. Self massage can help with improving blood flow through the treated areas and I recommend to my patients that they begin this within the first week of treatment - as soon as they can tolerate it. If the skin of the area is also turning red, that could be a sign of infection. Although infections are quite rare, they are possible. Again, if this is the case, then a trip to your surgeon's office would be in order.
Hello hayatbouya,With VASER, swelling and bruising can last for up to 6-8 weeks. However, the amount of discomfort experienced will depend on the number of areas treated and the treatment locations. If you are concerned, I would recommend contacting your doctor to discuss this matter. Best of luck.
