Bloating after SculpSure. Is this normal for one week?

By your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing swelling that may be giving you a bloated feeling.  Patients can experience mild swelling, soreness and/or redness initially after treatment.  Most of our patients who experienced any discomfort, reported all side effects subsided in the first 3-5 days.  Although, there are some occasions patients experience these side effects for up to 2 weeks.  Discomfort can be easily relieved with a chilled towel and/or compression.  Keep in mind, everyone's body responds differently and it's always important to have your doctor monitor your progress.  

You are most certainly not bloated, you just see and fell firmness over a treated area, which simply means your body is responding appropriately to the treatment. SculpSure works by using heat, the treatment causes a lot of inflammation, inflammation attracts water and may appear a bit swollen, but it's not significant. You definitely should feel tenderness, which is due to inflammation. This may linger for 1-2 weeks. in some cases longer but id completely normal. You should massage the real for 5-10 minutes twice a day for 1-2 weeks and stay hydrated.  Best, Dr.Avaliani

In our practice, some patients have reported such sensitivity of the area post-treatment. This is expected and may be a good thing since your body is responding to the treatment and eliminating the destroyed fat cells. We offer lymphatic drainage massage following SculpSure for up to 12 weeks to help the elimination process, achieve results more quickly and also relieve any discomfort. Make sure you are in contact with your physician following your treatment. Any swelling and tenderness can take a few days to a few weeks to subside, depending on your body's response.
