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?

Hi, although it is unlikely to not see results by 7 months, these contours can still improve throughout the year after surgery.  For your guidance, if you had loose, sagging, or inelastic #skin before the procedure, these are problems which would tend towards poor results in liposuction. In fac...
