Before and after photo.... Does this look normal? Heat feels better than ice...running a low grade fever off and on.... antibiotic causes itching so bad I have to add Benadryl each time. I don't see much difference...

Answer: Are my post lipo results normal? Hello ahall626,Its too early to conclude on your results. The bruising is not uncommon. Be sure to follow your surgeon's advice and follow-up plan which likely includes wearing a garment and massage for enhanced lymphatic drainage.Best of luck,Oscar A.

Answer: Vaser liposuction bra rolls back thighs post-operative bruising post-op VASER swelling VASER garment VASER itching Hi AHall626, Thank you for your questions regarding your VASER liposuction results of the bra strap rolls, back, and lower thighs. Since you are only 48 hours from your VASER liposuction, it is way too early to tell anything. Since you are so soon after your VASER liposuction, I believe the swelling hasn't even started. It is very important that you follow up with your plastic surgeon. My VASER liposuctionpatients wear their garment for a minimum of six weeks. Lymphatic massage can help to decrease some of the swelling after VASER liposuction. In addition, arnica pills and arnica tea can decrease some of the swelling after VASER liposuction. Itching with antibiotic is common. This indicates you probably have an allergy to the antibiotic dispensed. I would suggest you notify your plastic surgeon about potentially discontinuing your antibiotics. Please check with your plastic surgeon regarding the use of heat or ice. I do not use heat or ice for my VASER liposuction. If you have any areas that are numb, heat can cause a burn whereas ice can cause frostbite. In my busy VASER practice, I have seen both of these complications in several of my patients who have not followed my strict post-operative VASER liposuction instructions. Please be patient and wait the full six weeks before you pass judgment on your VASER liposuction. You can't expect your final results in just 48 hours. I hope I have answered your questions regarding results 48 hours after VASER liposuction. If you have any more questions regarding VASER liposuction, please contact my office. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Answer: Too soon to see results 48 hrs is too soon to see results, esp with the back bra roll. You will need to be very patient with this area, I hope your surgeon had advised you with all this prior to procedure. I would add lymphatic massages to help decrease the swelling and external RF treatments to help the skin tighten. The final results will not be apparent until 4-6 months post procedure.If you fever persist, please see your surgeon as you could develop a small skin infection.

Answer: Vaser liposuction results after 48 hours Thank you for providing photos for reference. 48 hours after surgery is too soon for pain and discomfort to completely go away because some swelling and bruising may persist. It varies greatly between patients. Final #results can usually be seen 2-4 months later as the swelling continues to diminish and contours become more defined, but improvement will continue for 4–6 months as swelling and irregularities resolve. These contours can even improve throughout the year after surgery.

Answer: Liposuction Results & After care includes RF treatments (Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra) Cellutone/zwave, hyperbaric oxygen If the fever persists, I recommend following up with your Doctor. 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
