vaser hi def: 5 weeks post surgery, no results and big frustration (Photo)

Question

Hi , I am 5 weeks post revision vaser hi def surgery (1st was laser lipo 3 yrs ago). doctor said he removed all scar tissues and gave me good definition (abs, flanks and lower chest). 5 weeks post surgery, and no definition. I wore the garment properly for 5 weeks. now, saggy skin in certain places, soft and hard areas (edema). not sure if that is fat, normal swelling, or scar tissues. doctor's instructions were to massage and no ultrasound therapy and edermologie as he thought I don't need it.

It may be too soon to see the final results. Swelling after #Vaser liposuction is not uncommon. Gentle #walking may increase circulation and help to alleviate swelling. But you must not strain or push yourself. Also, if you were provided a post-procedure #garment, be sure you are wearing it until prescribed otherwise by your doctor. The purpose of the post-procedure #garment is to provide some gentle #support and to reduce swelling. If it feels too tight or causes pain, take it off. Many patients wear the #elastic garment for several weeks after procedures, as directed by their doctor; some choose to wear it longer for several months for comfort.The final results of the procedure are typically most noticeable 2-4 months following the #Vaser.Typically, it's best to wait 6  to 12 months to undergo additional treatment if necessary. If at any time you have any concern at all about your healing process, do not hesitate to contact your surgeon .Moreover, liposuction is NOT a method of #weight loss and muscle toning, or an alternative to diet and exercise. It does not affect one's metabolism. It is usually recommended that patients who have recently experienced weight loss and massive weight loss (#MWL) remain consistent at their weight for at least six to twelve months prior any cosmetic surgery. Such will better ensure longer lasting results of the procedure without risking the fluctuation and stretching of the skin tissue.

"Buyer be ware"!!! The Vaser High Def never guarantees the six pack effect. You are NOT a candidate and only aggressive exercise would accomplish the results you desire....
