Best time to start LPG Lipomassage after Vaser Liposuction on arms?

A
A_AbdullahMay 8, 2016

I did VASER Liposuction on my arms 5 weeks ago and two days to be precise. And as far as I know I need to do LPG Lipomassage to see the best out of this procedure because I'm still not 100% satisfied with my current result. However I'm afraid it's a bit too late to do LPG or I missed my chance for the ultimate result. Please let me know if my results will change with LPG even after removing the compression garment.

Thank you for providing photos for reference. As you heal, the suctioned area may feel “lumpy” and irregular. This decreases with time and massaging those areas will hasten their softening. If it is indeed a scar tissue, it is not a permanent fixture in the body. Have your doctor check if prop...

It is still very soon into your #healing. Following #Gynecomastia #surgery, your incisions will go through a maturation #process. For the first few months they will be red and possibly raised and/or firm. As the scar matures, after 6-12 months, it becomes soft, pale, flat, and much less ...

It is still very early into your healing so you must try to remain patient. Bruising and #swelling are normal and usually increase slightly after the removal of any tape or foam. The bruising will decrease over 3-4 weeks, but may last as long as 6 weeks. The majority of the swelling will be ...

Hi, this is normal. Pain and discomfort varies greatly between patients, some start early and some don't. Since your procedure is only 2 days ago, expect some redness, which is usually the first stage of bruising followed by blue, purple, and finally, the healing stage of green and yellow. Mos...
