I had liposuction of my dorsocervical fat pad area 6 weeks and 2 days ago. I’m still having significant swelling and tightness in the area. There were some issues with finding the correct type of compression garment that covered the entire area, therefore I did not wear a properly fitting garment (I wore a super tight sports bra for 3.5 weeks). I have not been cleared to exercise yet. I’m concerned I will still have my hump at the end. Attached are my progression photos.

Answer: Post Lipo - Lymphatic Massage, Hyperbaric Oxygen, RF (Venus Legacy, Exilis, Vanquish, InMode Forma), Cellutone/Z Wave/Evive If you are unhappy with your results please speak to your physician and ensure he was a full body VASER HD liposuction physician with expensive experience in body shaping and not just traditional fat reduction. At this point you should be using compression, RF treatments like venus legacy / exilis ultra / inmode forma or contoura and lymphatic massage to get you through healing. We always add shock wave therapy such as cellutone, z wave, and eclipse evive to help prvent scar tissue formation and ensure an even and smooth result. It will take 6-12 months to see the final outcome. If you are unhappy you can get a revision procedure by an expert in VASER HD lipo. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Buffalo Hump Liposuction Recovery Hannah I appreciate your concern, however it can take as long as six months for all swelling to resolve after any type of liposuction surgery, but especially in the area of your upper back treated recently. You are correct that it is difficult to find a garment that properly provides compression in that area, and for that reason recovery can take a bit longer. Try to stay patient and positive and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Good luck
