Answer: Healing after liposuction Thank you for your question. You may have swelling and fluid retention. Swelling in the first week after liposuction is quite common. It's best to follow your surgeons specific advice post-operatively. We typically have our patients wear compression garments on the areas we did liposuction to help the skin and underlying tissues re-adhere as well as reduce swelling. However, if you garments are too tight they can restrict lymphatic drainage and blood flow leading to more swelling and complications. I'd highly suggest you contact your surgeon's office regarding your plan. Best of luck!

Answer: Possible Seroma after Liposuction & After care includes RF treatments (Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra) Cellutone/zwave It's difficult to tell from your pictures, but this could be swelling or a seroma. I recommend following up with your Doctor for a formal evaluation. You will 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. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Seroma Dear SKJGBC,it is hard to tell without an examination. Symptoms you are describing can be caused by seroma (fluid collection). If you are concerned you should consult your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
