My concern is my healing. I understand everyone is different and bodies heal at their own pace. I’m vegetarian and while I thought I was getting enough protein and iron turns out not enough because my iron is really low! I wear my faja 24/7, I have to wear an ab board round the clock too which hurts my skin. I get lymphatic massages. I also have a small line/indent above my belly button doesn’t go away. What can I do?
Answer: Liposuction Recovery ccastillo. I appreciate your concern, however the first thing you can do is try to calm down! It appears from the photographs that you are healing quite normally from extensive liposuction 360 and improvement will continue each day. However, it can take as long as six months for all swelling to resolve and skin to re-contour. Gentle massage is all you really need in my opinion and I am not a fan of lymphatic massage as it is painful and never has been proven to be effective. Try to stay patient and positive and follow up with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Healing with liposuction Great question! It is important to understand that 1 month is still very early in your healing process. It can take several months for all the swelling to subside and see your final results. If your nutrition is poor, then it will take you much longer to heal. I would recommend taking supplements to improve your protein and iron levels as these are both important for healing. Other than that you should continue to followup with your plastic surgeon so he/she can advise you on the best ways to heal quickly.Best of luck and hope this information helps!

Answer: I am 4 weeks post Lipo (360) and feel like I’m still 2 weeks post op. A lot of discomfort, slow healing. What can I do? Thank you for your pictures and questions. What you need to do is discuss this with your plastic surgeon who is presumably board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He or she can examine you and instruct you properly on what to do.Best of luck!Dallas R. Buchanan, MD, FACSOwner & Board-Certified Plastic SurgeonVIVIFY plastic surgery
