Seems a little uneven for now and still feels tight and swollen. I'm hoping this is just the beginning.

one week out, swelling worse than expected

comayrpr
I had my surgery one week ago and the day or two after, I was feeling really good about results - definitely could see a change in my stomach area. But now I've gone back to work and my stomach is even bigger than before - swollen and hard.

Follow-up with doc told me I would experience swelling for like 4-5 weeks, but i was thinking the worst was behind me.

Has anyone else had the same experience where results look good and then swelling goes crazy? Will it work itself out and look more like the "original" after pic?

Doc told me to stop taking pics and looking, but I'm obsessed!

I'm so excited for your results! You look amazing. My consult is on Thursday with Dr Castor. Please keep us posted on your progress.

Wow, is that from lipo only? It's amazing, I thought you underwent tummy tuck. My belly is exactly the same with your pre surgery. Viewing from the side it bulge from the ribs. I thought the only way to get rid of it is tummy tuck but seing your result I feel optimistic that lipo can solve the problem. Please post your healing picture more. I want to see it. Thanks.

No tummy tuck, but I've never had babies. Doctor pinched around on my skin and said he expects it will tighten up enough, but we shall see! For an age reference, I'm 37.

Oh ok. I am 39 with 2 kids

You look great for 7 days post op! Not sure what your crazy swelli g looks like, but after my vaser to thighs, knees and hips, I was very swollen. And was much bigger after surgery than before. The swelling lasted 5+ weeks.
September 11, 2016
Oh my! Doc said 5 weeks but I can't imagine! I don't have enough stretchy clothes to deal for 5 weeks. Lol. Do you mean swelling like is in my photos for five weeks or swelling larger than your normal size for 5 weeks?

not me, I had results exactly like you are talking about and it continues to get worse and worse I was seeing doctor Castor however he kept telling me I would be okay, now almost 10 months later I am completely disfigured with hard areas of scar tissue all around where he did the LIPO still in terrible pain. He went into my belly button twice and now my belly button no longer looks like a belly button..i don't know what to suggest to you but don't be satisfied with "it will be okay"

Can you update us on how your Vaser lipo of chin/jawline looks?

Still swollen, but taking shape

It looks and feels a little lumpy. I am trusting that will fade with time. I was able to shower and redress in the compression garments without too much exhaustion.
