My stomach feels like there is cemeant in it. I was required to wear my compression garment for 3 days straight. After day 3 I was allowed to take it off to shower. Since day 4 my stomach hasn't looked like it did when I first took my garment off on day 3. Results were perfect. Now I am more puffy, stomach is fatter, lumpy, and harder. Normal? And will I get back down to the shape I had when I first took my garment off? If so how long will it take?

Answer: Swelling and Hardness After Lipo Swelling and firmness are normal after lipo. Most plastic surgeons have a program to help with this, and some very simple things can make a big difference. A properly fitted garment, lymphatic massage, avoidance of prolonged sitting and a lower sodium diet can all go a long way to speed you recovery and reduce swelling. Check with your doctor for sure.

Answer: Firmness & Swelling after Liposuction-After care--RF treatments (Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra) Cellutone/zwave, hyperbaric oxygen Yes, there can be firmness and or swelling which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance.
