No swelling or pain after treatment. Did it still work?

Question

I had liposonix done on my lower abdomen two days ago. 6 squares, 3 passes at 60 jules each. I have had no swelling, bruising or pain since the treatment. In fact I don't feel like I had anything done at all. Could this mean the treatment didn't work for me?

Frank P. Fechner, MD · Answer

Some patients experience some type of discomfort during
their non-invasive Liposonix treatment.  A lack of
swelling and discomfort after the treatment is not uncommon and does not reflect on
the effectiveness of the treatment.  Our patients
are seen 6 weeks post treatment at which time results are most noticeable.  You should consult with your doctor if you
have any concerns.

No pain after the Liposonix procedure is good. It does not mean anything with regard to your results. It is actually better that you have no pain, post procedure pain is very unusual in my experience. You should still get a fat reduction ad you can get back to exercise sooner!

Richard Baxter, MD · Answer

While there is a variable degree of discomfort during the Liposonix treatment, typically there is not much discomfort afterwards so the lack of pain does not mean lack of results. As you know, it will be 3 months before you see the final result. Three passes at 60 joules should give a nice response in most cases.

Not having pain and bruising after the procedure, in my
experience, is the most common outcome. Don’t worry, this does not automatically
mean your treatment was ineffective.

Hratch Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

I agree that the lack of pain after liposonix treatment has no significance as to whether it worked or not. Most patients experience some discomfort during the procedure and the rare patient has pain after the procedure. Experiened practitioners use a bioflavonoid formula called Swell-X to reduce tissue swelling and inflammation as it works extremely well.
