Leakage still occurring 96 hours later. Is this something I should stress about?

DeelightfullyDeeNov 22, 2014
I've read all the previous questions and have seen that leakage should stop after 72 hours. I'm 96+ hours after surgery and still have a leaky arm. I had vaser liposuction with bodytite done on my arms only. Everywhere else was vaser only and doesn't seem to be weeping. The incision that is leaking is leaking quite a bit, it literally ran down my arm and made a puddle on the floor within seconds. Is this something I should stress about?

The final results of the procedure are typically most noticeable 2-4 months following the #Vaser. So you may see more improvements in time to come. The swelling will gradually diminish while the contours of the treated area(s) can continue to improve up to one year post procedure; becoming more ...
