Sep 17 I did vaser chest, flanks, belly. At first it was ok then it went bad. Sep 18 I did touchup flanks and belly. At first it was ok now flanks look worse. I am eating no salt for two months, drinking 3lt water every day, dieting and 've had 3 LDM sessions. Was wearing garment for 2 mo, did everything perfectly. I am still firm in the flanks and left and right of belly so could this still be swelling? Doc said he removed all fat. 1st pic before touchup. 2nd pic 1 mo after touchup. rest=today
Answer: Was surgery a failure? Hi and welcome to our forum! Congratulations on your recent procedure...The procedure of vaser liposuction is an "insult" to the soft tissues, resulting in swelling which will initially totally obscure the operative result. The purpose of a compression garment is to prevent bleeding and to control swelling. We usually recommend its use only for the first 4-6 weeks after the procedure. 60-80% of the swelling should subside within the first 6 weeks, with the remainder slowly subsiding over 6-12 months. As you are only 2 months after your procedure, your result is still camouflaged by swelling. Allow it to heal! Continue followup care with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes...

Answer: Post Liposuction Results Excellent questions!Even after two months, there can be pockets where the skin is still firm and swollen.Skin tightening can be improved with Vaser, but ultimately skin tightening is up to your bodies genetics, and can be improving up to a year out.You’ll still be able to squeeze skin after VaserLipo, but you’ll squeeze less, relative to before the first surgery.Best.
