You can consider Coolscupting or Vanquish. These technologies are non-surgical methods for fat reduction. Liposuction also works extremely well in this area. See a board certified plastic surgeon.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO
It's extremely unlikely you were damaged in any way. You should see your regular doctor for a full evaluation and some piece of mind. Good luck, Dr. ALDO :)
As your liposuction was just one week ago, your body is still early in the recovery process. Normally, it’ll take between 6 and 9 months to see your final results, including your skin conforming to your new contours. This takes time – your skin won’t spring back into shape in just a few days....
