My dr said my tissue was difficult to get through. This made me wonder if my recovery will be harder as well. I'm 5'5" 125 and had tummy and flanks done. I'm healthy and work out but these spots never get better after pregnancies. Why would it be harder than usual? What does this mean for my recovery? I'm worried I have made a mistake by getting this done now.
Answer: Tough to do lipo
He probably was referring to the fibrous nature of your fat. Ultrasonic liposuction is good for these areas as it helps break it up. Vaser is one such brand of ultrasonic liposuction which I use often. It does take longer then regular liposuction but works well on fibrous fat or redo liposuction cases. Good luck.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Difficult liposuction, will this lead to longer recovery?
Thank you for your question. What your surgeon refers to is the fibrous nature of your tissues which makes it more difficult to extract the fat. I personally use the VASER ultrasound technique on almost all my liposuction cases for the past 10 years. This helps with easier fat removal without too much trauma to the other tissues. If he used only regular, traditional liposuction, this means he had to work really hard to liposuction the fat. This causes limited results and excess trauma and swelling to the surrounding tissues with longer recovery and less than optimal result. If you are still early out from surgery, I suggest you get some lymphatic massage to mobilize and minimize tissue swelling. Good luck.

Answer: Everyone is different
Your question is a good one and highlights your individuality. Just like the way every patient looks different and has fat deposits that are in slightly different orientations, everyone's fat has different consistencies. Some patients are very easy to get fat out of, and some patients have a significant fibrous component to their fat which makes things a bit more difficult. Consistency of the fat can even vary from site to site on the same person.
None of this has anything to do with your expectations or results, and I don't anticipate you should have a more difficult recovery because of it.

Answer: Tougher Tissues for Liposuction
Sometimes the fat in a person can be more fibrous and can be more difficult to liposuction. Previous surgery can produce scars in the area, which makes the liposuction more difficult as well. Recovery after liposuction depends upon a number of factors. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Factors influencing lipo recovery
Your own plastic surgeon is the one to ask, but there are variables that can affect recovery. If there has been significant weight loss, then the tissues often have more blood vessels and are more dense. The amount of fat removal in a given area is another factor. I don't think that timing is an issue.
