Track mark on stomach? I'm only 3 weeks post op from lipo of abdomen.

I recommend following up with your Doctor about their protocol regarding compression. I have my patients wear compression for 3-6 weeks straight then overnight for 3-6 months after their procedure. For liposuction after care, I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. Without being there are the procedure, or having an exam, or a picture to reference, it can be hard to give you specific advice. I would suggest you discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. He or she is the only one who can tell you exactly what happened, if it is anything to be worried about, and what you should do to get the best outcome possible.Good luck!

It's difficult to say without examining you in person or knowing the exact details of your surgery. You are still swollen, so hopefully what you are noticing will go away with time. I would discuss your concerns with your surgeon, to see if they have any recommendations as you recover. This may include a compression garment and lymphatic massage.

Thank you for your question. You are correct - you will go through many changes with liposuction. It can take 3-6 months for you to see your final results. In the meantime, try and be patient. Track marks can occur, but usually do not stay permanent. Massage can help to soften the tissue in the area, and to help with the inflammation. If you are truly concerned, I would suggest speaking with your Plastic Surgeon in person. Best of luck!
