Im 8 weeks after arm Lipo (smart Lipo) and I still have some dents/ripples. Is this lumpiness normal or is this uneven fat removal?
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 physciain wtih 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: Liposuction results Dear Creative9486, I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a liposuction surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.

Answer: Smart lipo Smart Lipo of the upper arms is one of slowest areas to heal (up to 6 months). During that time, uneven swelling and deep bruising will steadily improve. Skin will become smoother and tighten. Matter of fact, I saw a patient I did this procedure on 3 years ago, and commented " My arms look better than ever!" Be patient.

Answer: Liposuction expectations It looks like a lot of lumps and indents that you have on your arms are caused by the compression garments. I do not have my patients wear any compression garments but you can ask your doctor if you can remove yours after such a long time following the procedure. It takes 3 months for the swelling to completely come down in my patients and I believe that to be the case in the majority of patients. Most likely all of this will resolve over time. Good luck from New York City
