Does Vigorous Massage (Vibrating Massager Machine) Make Skin Dimpling/looseness Worse After Abdominal Vaser Lipo?

L
LozzzaNov 25, 2012

I had a small amount of fat removed from under my naval (around half a liter) I remember it looked smooth and flat as soon as it was finished I am almost 3 weeks in now and the lumps and bumps are rather hard and the skin looks stapled to certain parts and wrinkly and disgusting in others. I just had a massage therapist massage the area with her machine for about 20 mins. When I looked at it again it was bright red and even more wrinkly than before. Is such a vigorous/deep massage beneficial?

Thank you for your question. A 5K budget is very tough as the number of areas translates into a large time slot. This is several hours of work, and the expense of anesthesia and a surgery facility nearly gobble up all of the 5K, unless you have a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon friend who can...

Thank you for your question. There is research suggesting fat locations are not entirely predictable. That said, if one exercises, and eats healthy, avoids fast food and refined sugars, the visceral fat is less likely to increase.  I hope this helps.

Most patients will drain excess fluid for 24-48 hours after VASER Liposuction. There is a lot of saline infiltrated in your abdomen to allow the VASER to melt the fat.  Some of this fluid comes out after the procedure and is mixed with lymphatic fluid and inflammatory fluid after doing the...
