I am 1 week post vaserlipo. Is this swelling? (Photo)

Sounds like you had a very un informed pre operative/post operative instructions... Vaser lipo causes swelling for up to 3 months [post operatively. Best to return to your surgeon for in person explanation so you are informed..// Sorry for this issue... 

Swelling after #Vaser liposuction is not uncommon. Gentle #walking may increase circulation and help to alleviate swelling. But you must not strain or push yourself. Also, if you were provided a post-procedure #garment, be sure you are wearing it until prescribed otherwise by your doctor. The purpose of the post-procedure #garment is to provide some gentle #support and to reduce swelling. If it feels too tight or causes pain, take it off. Many patients wear the #elastic garment for several weeks after procedures, as directed by their doctor; some choose to wear it longer for several months for comfort.The final results of the procedure are typically most noticeable 2-4 months following #Vaser. So, you must have patience. The swelling will gradually diminish while the contours of the treated area(s) can continue to improve up to one year post procedure; becoming more apparent in appearance. If you have concerns about your healing, or pain that you question to be unusual, it is important to call your plastic surgeon to discuss these further asked to be examined.

Having swelling 1 week after VASER liposuction is normal.  Typically, patients look great the next day then the swelling kicks in.  Swelling peaks around 5 days and then takes 6 to 8 weeks for the majority of the swelling to go away.  I tell my patients that at 2 months they are beach ready.  There is still swelling for up to one year following a procedure, but the majority of the swelling that you will visually see will be gone by 2-3 months.  Now, the one thing that you have to look for and is very common after liposuction in general is a fluid collection in the operated area.  This is something your surgeon should be checking for because if there is a fluid collection or a seroma, it needs to be drained.  Also, I like for my patients to start lymphatic massage the day after the operation as well as external ultrasounds.  They will also wear the garment 24/7 for 3 months after the procedure.
