4 days post-op liposuction and breast augmentation. Is it normal to have bad headaches and swelling and pain in the arms?

Question

Ryan Neinstein, MD, FRCSC · Answer

Thanks for the question, a lot of time when someone has persistent headaches after surgery its because they are dehydrated. You may want to focus on getting a lot more water in. In terms of swellings in the arms it depends on the type of compression and where the incisions are. I find that the incisions at the elbows vs the armpit allow for less swelling. Good idea to call your doc!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

If you are unhappy with your results please speak to your physician and ensure he was a full body VASER HD liposuction physciain wtih expensive experience in body shaping and not just traditional fat reduction.  At this point you  should be. using compression, RF treatments like venus legacy and exilis, and lymphatic massage to get you through healing.  It will take 6-12 months to see the final outcome.  If you are unhappy you can get a revision procedure by an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.
