6 weeks after Vaser lipo. I see no results. Is this normal?

hello gee1980Final results would be seen after recovery is complete i.e after all swellings and other post-op symptoms are cleared but always visit or contact your surgeon about your concern.

It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. As swelling can last up to 3-6 months after your procedure - your results will not be apparent for up to 6 months. To speed up the process, 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

Your concern is valid if you are not seeing any results; the results are apparent immediately even when you are on the table. Do you have any before and after photographs? There is a steep learning curve with the VASER and thus not all providers are able to get high def results.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
Swelling after liposuction is a natural occurrence. As your clothes don't fit, this supports swelling as the culprit. Healing after surgery is a dynamic process, taking a full year to be complete. One can hasten resolution of surgical swelling with non-surgical modalities such as lymphatic massage or the use of radio frequency devices, such as velashape or vanquish. We use these modalities in our practice with satisfactory improvement in most.
You may wish to discuss these modalities with your surgeon.
Best wishes

Hi and Thanks for the question.  In general, the results from any liposuction procedure will take several months to become apparent.  This is due to the swelling that will have to subside after the procedure as well as the fact that it will take several months for the skin to tighten and contract fully.  So at 6 weeks, it is not possible to judge the final outcome of your procedure.  I would advise you to follow the instructions of your surgeon with regards to how to best optimize both your recovery and your result.  Best of Luck!
