I have gone through gynecomastia procedure a couple of weeks ago – hematoma?

Thank you for your query. Some swelling and bruising is expected after liposuction. However collection of blood will have to be clinically surmised by the surgeon after his examination. In case hematoma is suspected and confirmed there are two options. Minor one may be left untouched while major ones may need some evacuation. It is therefore imperative that you discuss this with you are surgeon+

Still swollen 6 mo after lipo, should I wear compression garment?

Swelling after liposuction, back, tummy, pressure garments
Feb 27, 2017

Thank you for your query. It is unusual to find swelling that persist 6 months after liposuction. Use of compression garments therefore will not be very helpful 6 month after liposuction. You could try alternate non invasive methods for skin tightening as I don’t feel that surgical options are warranted.

Thank you very much for your query. Some swelling can be expected after liposuction. However in your case we need to make sure if this is actually a weight gain by comparing pre surgery weight and present weight. A second possibility is that since the other areas…upper half body.. have been reduced in size the lower half …buttocks and hips have started to look comparatively bigger. It will be nice to discuss with your surgeon.

Should I repair or replace Jaw Implants?

Thank you for the query. If asymmetry is the issue and if pain and discomfort is being caused by improper positioning, then you need to be reevaluated by your surgeon after all the swelling has settled and seriously discuss if a revision surgery needs to be done. This can be decided only between you and your surgeon depending on the goals and results achieved as compared to your pre op status.

Liposuction, fat over stomach area or tummy, swelling, lumps and bumps
Oct 10, 2016

Thanks for the query. Some swelling is expected post operatively as a lot of internal activity goes on that is not seen on the skin surface during liposuction which is done through a keyhole incision. Usually 3 months should be a good time to evaluate though some even take up to 6 months to settle down, Do have reviews with your surgeon or else you could see a local doc for a consultation and explain to him your concerns.

Liposuction/software tissue.

Liposuction, swelling, fluid collection, seroma, mass like, ct scan
Oct 9, 2016

Thank you for the query. After liposuction sometimes collection of fluid (seroma), blood (hematoma), infection, contour abnormalities or soft tissue swelling at sites may present as lumps and bumps. A ct scan has been done in your case and did not show anything to be unduly worried about. However you need to be seen and followed up by you surgeon to rule out any problems developing.

Is 3.5 liters significant ?

Liposuction, quantity of fat removed, fat over stomach area or tummy, back and thighs
Oct 9, 2016

Thank you for the query. Any amount of fat removed is significant since it will result in some changes in the site from which it has been removed. Very small amounts of fat removed in the wrong places can result in severe contour deformities. I am sure your surgeon must have planned his liposuction after reviewing you clinically. It is always nice to compare the pre-op and post-op pictures as this gives you a better idea of what has been done and the results achieved. Wait for 3-6 months to…
