600cc removed after lipo and laser after: I don't see any change - same measurements. (photos)

lipofirmApr 5, 2017
So upset. It's been a week- I am not swollen. I have little bruising. My measurements are exactly the same as before lipo surgery. Notice nothing. 600cc was removed- that doesn't include the fluid under the fat. I'm 160 pounds and 5'4. I had abs, flanks, back, inner thighs, arms. I called the office of the PS bawling, I have an apt for three weeks out. I was told they will touch it up and they could do it that day, that I wouldn't have to wait several months. Please help me. Thank you.

Hello. Great question. Congratulations on your procedure. At 10 days post op you are still very early in your recovery phase. It can take 3-6 months for all the swelling to go down. Until then you can see your final results. Keep following your surgeon's post op instructions.

At only 4 days after abdominal liposuction patients should expect to be quite swollen.In fact, things will indeed look worse than before the procedure!  Also, it is common to be even more swollen at a week after liposuction than you are during the first couple days.It will take MONTHS before ...

Unfortunately this is very difficult to fix and is mostly a technical problem.  I would start out with Velashape.  It combines the mechanical benefits of endermologie with radio frequency and infrared and has been shown to be helpful in smoothing areas after liposuction as well as improving s...
