When am I going to be skinny, 4 months post last lipo, had 3 procedures in total. (photos)

Question

I had liposuction done 3 times on my chin/neck, upper arms, flanks, upper and lower back, waist, upper and lower abdomen, and inner thighs. My first surgery was 9 months ago (ab, waist) my second was 8 months ago (chin/neck, arms, legs) my last surgery was 3 1/2 months ago and that was the big one I had under anesthesia and I had my back and everything else redone. I know it’s going to take time but I swear I’m losing my mind I just want to know when am I going to be skinny??!?!!

Based on your photo, you weren't a candidate for liposuction alone, but needed a tummy tuck and/or lifting procedure for best results. You may also have swelling, which 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. However, a VASER revision combined with a tummy tuck and lifting procedure may be needed to get the best outcome. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Vaser technology have revolutionized Liposuction revisions. With Vaser technology, we can reach up to 30-40% more fat than traditional liposuction. It allows us to emulsify and remove the deep fat cells that traditional liposuction can't reach and provide full body sculpting. Also, since we reach all of the fat cells, they can't come back in these areas regardless of weight fluctuations. You are a perfect candidate for this procedure. I would recommend waiting until 6 months post-op before looking into doing this procedure. Further examination through a skype consultation with a Vaser liposuction specialist can provide you with better details on the extent of fat removal that may be necessary to achieve your desired look.
