How do you get rid of Edema in your thighs after Vaser and J Plasma?

Question

The edema is taking over my life. I’ve been drinking dandelion tea, green tea, and water. How long does the Edema last? Six to 7 liters of fat was taken out of my thighs. They look good but the edema is annoying. It’s hard to get around. It will be a month January 12th.

Swelling can last 3-6 months after your procedure. 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. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Swelling is very normal after Vaser and/or J Plasma.  Most people report that the swelling is gone by the one month mark, however, in some people it can last 4-6 months.  I assume you wore a compression garment for several weeks after the procedure.  You might consider continuing to wear that at least at night, which should help the edema.  You can also get lymphatic drainage massages in order to speed up the healing.  At this point, you should be walking as much as you possibly can, because the movement of your legs will decrease the swelling.Best of luck to you.
