2 weeks post op abdominal Vaser Liposuction, what is correct healing process? Area feels swollen and lumpy.

Question

I had vasor 2 weeks ago. Lower and upper stomache. First 2 days it looked amazing ! I feel like it’s more swollen and lumpy in certain areas. I feel like my skin is incredibly tight when I try lift my arms. (Symptom Occurred last 2/3 days) My stomach still feels a numb fuzzy feeling and unbearable to touch. The thought of having any form of massage yet petrifies me. Am I hindering healing time by not having massage. And is all this normal?

Getting a lymphatic massage is critical to reducing lump formation in your abdomen.  Aggressive massaging helps drain the body of residual fluid and is vital in maximizing optimal results.  I highly encourage you to undergo aggressive lymphatic massage therapy in order to reduce lumpiness.  At our center we provide a minimum 5-10 aggressive massage procedures in the early postoperative time. This ensures smooth aesthetic results. Contact a Vaser specialist via Skype or FaceTime to discuss your case in further detail.
