  7. TUMESCENT LIPO AT CLINIC...

Tumescent Lipo at Clinic Femina by Dr. Scott Ross 6 weeks out and still no results. No change in measurements or fit of clothes.

Asked By:3660anon in Saint Paul, MN

I requested my records from WestHealth Surgery center where it was preformed. He didn't take before pictures. I'm 5'5" and weigh 155 lb now and day of surgery. Areas done muffin top, abdomen and outer thighs. Records report 850 ml of the Tumescent fluid was infused and 1050 removed. Given that what results should I realistically expect? His response, "The infused amount is irrelevant since this is absorbed. The total amount removed should yield great results in most cases." I don't believe him.

Is the xanax/vicodin cocktail really necessary before tumescent lipo?
Connie Hiers, MD, FACS says:

With awake liposuction, it is best that you take something for anxiety and pain prior to the procedure so you can better tolerate the numbing. Once the areas are numb, the procedure is much less painful, and you may find yourself sleeping.

Fluid build up in the lower back. Will this be absorbed by my body?
Connie Hiers, MD, FACS says:

Fluid build up can occur with tummy tucks and occasionally with liposuction. If no drains were used or only used for a short time, the fluid build up is more common. Try to minimize your bending and wear your compression. You may need to be drained a few more times.

Seroma in the sacral area after Liposuction?
Connie Hiers, MD, FACS says:

Excess fluid can occur after liposuction and after the tuck. I would suggest let your physician drain you at least weekly. If the amounts are not decreasing each time, you may need a drain. Do wear your compression garments and avoid abdominal exercises and running.
