You can get rid of hardness after lipo with compression garments and massages as advised by your surgeon. Restring salty foods can reduce the swelling to a certain extent.it doesn't mean you stop taking salt completely. Avoid chips and pickles

  • Hardness after lipo can last for several months up to a year, and swelling stays for around 6-8 months as it is the procedure's outcome. 
  • Lymphatic drainage massage helps to reduce swelling and hardness of your skin where liposuction has been performed. 

How to perform this Massage: 

  • you should always gently tug and stretch the skin without rubbing it. 
  • Use only mild touches; and avoid deep tissue massage. 
  • The Massage should be done in the direction of the lymphatic system's flow, i.e., from wrist to shoulder and from the ankle to knee.

The hardness after lipo is due to the fact that the fat cells have been removed and the skin has been tightened. The best way to get rid of the hardness is to have a massage or to use a body brush.

Lumps and bumps are normal after liposuction and will usually go away on their own. Lumps can feel hard for several weeks after a procedure, but eventually, they dissipate, and the skin returns to normal. 
Your surgeon may suggest some massaging techniques to smoothen it or lessen it. 
However, tak to your plastic surgeon regarding sustained hardness.

Support tissue flexibility by using gentle massage and ensure proper hydration And nutrition to facilitate optimal healing. Continue wearing compression garments as recommended. they help to minimize swelling. Follow up regularly with your surgeon. Participate in mild, activities that help improve blood flow and facilitate a more comfortable healing process. Always check with your surgeon before putting in any particular measures since they should fit into you individually developed healing process.

Non surgical rhinoplasty always kyu ni h 3 years k liye hi kyu h

Female | 21

Non-surgical rhinoplasty isn't permane­nt. It changes your nose's shape using fille­rs. But these only last 1-2 years. Because your body breaks them down slowly over time­. If you want a lasting change, you may need surgical rhinoplasty inste­ad. This involves actual reshaping through an operation. So while­ non-surgical is quick, it's not forever. Surgery give­s permanent results but re­quires healing too.

When can i sleep on my back after bbl?

Female | 43

After a BBL, you should not sleep face down on your back for several weeks in order to avoid pressure on the newly transplanted fat. Surgeons usually advise to sleep on your side or use a donut pillow, which minimizes the pressure against buttocks during early recovery. Follow your surgeon’s specific post-operative instructions and individual recovery progress. It is important to follow your surgeon’s advice in order for you to get the desired result with minimal risks of complications.

Can i get a nose job at 14?

Female | 14

It is usually not recommended to get nose job at 14. It is advisable to wait until you have got the physical maturity. Thus, most surgeons recommend having a rhinoplasty in your late teens or early 20s. But still I advise consulting a reputed plastic surgeon in person for proper evaluation and assessment of your individual condition.

I have stubborn belly fat and when i start loosing weight my breast size reduces now my problems are belly fat and reduced breast size

Female | 23

The stubborn belly fat and the lost breast size can be very irritating. This is attributable to changes in hormone levels as you lose weight. Don't get burned out; you can still have tips. For the purpose of burning belly fat, eat healthily and exercise regularly. To keep the breast size the same, concentrate on strength training exercises that work on the chest muscles.

Taping nose 6 months after rhinoplasty, is it required?

Female | 32

Taping the nose six months after rhinoplasty is not typically necessary, as the majority of the swelling and healing process should have already taken place by that point. However, it's important to consult with your surgeon for specific guidance based on your individual circumstances.

 

In the early stages of rhinoplasty recovery, taping may be used to help support and shape the nose. It is often applied immediately after surgery and worn for a specific period of time as directed by the surgeon. However, after six months, the nose should have largely settled into its final shape.

 

If you have concerns about the appearance or shape of your nose at the six-month mark, it's best to reach out to your surgeon for a follow-up consultation. They will be able to assess your progress, evaluate any residual swelling, and provide guidance on whether any further interventions, including taping, are necessary.

 

It's important to follow your surgeon's recommendations closely, as they will have a comprehensive understanding of your unique case and can provide the most appropriate advice for your specific situation.
