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: VASER Healing VASER, like any other type of liposuction, results in inflammation and swelling of the treated areas, which lasts up to 6 months or more. Given that, you definitely have some swelling still. Ideally, your doctor removed all, but a small layer of fat, maybe about a quarter- to half an inch. In a pinch of skin, as in your photos, you are holding two layers of skin (epidermis + dermis = 1/8” X2) plus the 2 layers of attached fat (1/2” X2) plus whatever swelling is there. So, just the skin and the fat totals 3/4” at a minimum plus swelling. In one of your photos, you are pinching the left waist area and, to me, it looks like it can’t be more than 1” thick. Therefore, I think you should have a great result as the swelling goes down. One caveat I would caution you about though; and that is, skin tightening is very different from one patient to the next and takes 4-6 months to appreciate. Even with VASER, skin laxity post liposuction can happen.

Answer: Repeated Vaser liposuction needs time to heal Typically, healing after Vader liposuction can take upto 1 year, especially after a second procedure. Fluctuations in swelling, firm spots, etc are normal during this time. Some thickness on pinching of skin is also normal after fat removal.Sounds like you are doing all the right things. Keep close follow up with your plastic surgeon during this time as well.

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.
