I had lipo of the abdomen, flanks & back exactly 4 weeks ago. I was told not to massage it myself but just go for my weekly lymph drainage massage for 4 weeks. But I am still bumpy & uneven. I wear my bodysuit daily still and only take it off for showering. I am going to continue my weekly massages but will this go away? Is there anything else I can do? My doctor said just to to more massages but I am worried and want to be sure.
Answer: Is unevenness normal after lipo? Best to continue wearing the compression garment and continue with additional lymphatic Massage/Venus Legacy RF treatments. All of these additional treatments (including the compression garment) help you get the best possible results, which may not be apparent in their final form for a good year post op. Remember that some degree of waviness/bumpiness may still remain due to the nature of the surgery.

Answer: Liposuction Results & After care includes RF treatments (Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra) Cellutone/zwave, hyperbaric oxygen It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have 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. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Are my uneven Lipo results normal? Hello dear!! Thanks for the question and provided information as well. You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to 6 months to see your final results. At the stage you are in, swelling is normal, so i recommend to be patient. Also, you can continue with the lymphatic massages for two more weeks. And remember that it is recommended to use the compression garment 24/7 for the first 3 months, and after that, for 12 hours a day for 3 more months, to avoid that type of swelling and to get the best results. If you have any concerns, i suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon. Good luck :)

Answer: Liposuction It is really too early for you to see your final results. You surely still have swelling and need to wait 6-8 weeks to see more of an improvement and 6 months or more for final results. Thank you for your question!
