Why are my butt and thighs so big after flank and belly lipo?

Swelling can move towards gravity and it can be typical to have swelling 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

hello DS888  Many studies indicate that there is also less injury than the traditional liposuction method resulting in less pain, swelling and bruising.  Final results can be seen 2-4 months later as the swelling continues to diminish and contours become more defined. These contours can even improve throughout the year after surgery. You should contact or visit PS about this concern. #post-op #swelling 

Hi DS,
The normal recuperation from Vaser is 6-9 months.  People often have a degree of swelling after the procedure and you are well within the normal range.  Patients often get swelling in their legs or extremities due to gravity.  You can get lymphatic massages to help with the drainage.

I have received this question quite a bit.  
There are some methods that are more aggressive than others, and based on how much was removed, it looks like your doctor's approach was also pretty aggressive.  This is one reason why we tend to prefer doing one or two areas at a time, for faster recovery.
A lymphatic massage may help.  However, without photos it's tough to say for sure.  I would also make sure that your doctor is kept in the loop and is following you closely to make sure there isn't any other factor involved.
Hope that helps

I am glad that you had VASER high definition liposuction performed but swelling is actuallly minimal following this procedure. Please provide a photo so we can provide you a more accurate advice.
