Answer: Swelling after Lipo Wearing your compression garment as directed and downsizing it when it is loose, are critical to the management of swelling after lipo. Arnica may be of benefit topically, also consider increased consumption of papayas and pineapples. Please keep in mind that localized swelling after lipo is a common and expected side effect of the procedure. Hoping this finds you well.

Answer: Swelling Hello, For my patients I recommend they start Ibuprofen 48 hours post procedure. We also have them begin Arnica or Sinecch prior to beginning the surgery. It will help if you avoid high sodium foods because that will enhance bloating. It is best to try and be patient since full healing can be 9 month to a year.

Answer: Smart Lipo Aftercare--add Venus Legacy, Exilis, Vanquish, Cellutone, ZWave, VASER, ThermiRF It can take 3-6 months for final results with Smart lipo. I suggest lymphatic massage, hyperbaric oxygen, and RF treatments like venus legacy to help reduce any 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. However, a VASER revision would give you the smoothest result, but requires more downtime. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Drinking and swelling aren't connected Swelling is a normal reaction to trauma. Your body produces lymphatic fluid as part of the healing process regardless of how much or how little you drink. The best management for swelling is massage, compression, and avoiding activities which speed your heart rate (cardio) for a few weeks. Avoiding alcohol will reduce your chance of a hematoma because alcohol causes your blood vessels to dilate. Bruising responds well to arnica cream.
