Post Liposuction Healing and Care 

Glad it was helpful!

@@DrWilliamMiami do you teach other board certified Dr your technique

Does Lipolytic injection help to lose more fat?

Wow!! You rock! Thank you I am glad you appreciate them and find them useful. If you have a topic you would like me to address please leave it in the commnets.

Wow, thank you!

This is me. I loved the fact he is so informal. One of the reasons I picked him.

@@NeekoXOXO it looks great!

@@ancestorbackwithanewname Thank you

Thank you for that. I do! I just firmly believe that going into surgery knowing as much as you can will be so helpful to your recovery as well as understanding things that maybe don't look as good as one expected. There are limitations and I want patients to know those limitations before surgery. As one of my mentors told me years ago: "what you tell patients before surgery is consent and what you tell them after surgery is an excuse"--no excuses here. I want patients to know clearly what I can and more importantly what I cannot do before they have surgery. I always try to do my best but not everyone will look like an IG model after surgery. I want everyone to look as good as they can possibly look.

This is me in the video and I had that same problem because the fat that was removed from there. Make sure you compressed that area even more. I fold a pad in that area to add extra compression with faja and boards.

@@NeekoXOXO hi hunny, how are you glad to see recovery had been good for you look amazing, can you give me a few websites for good fajas

Thank you for the kind words!

I appreciate that! IF you ever have a specific question or a video topic you would like to see please let me know.

The more you know the better you look.

I appreciate that!

What service did you have?

@@cararolle282 Lipo360 only

Are you on Instagram? I wanna see results, but it's amazing. Hope all is well

You are so welcome!

You're very welcome!

I appreciate that.

Glad it helped!

Thank you. I really appreciate the nice words and I am happy you find the videos helpful. We will be releasing Season 4 of Behind The Mask in the new year and have already started work on BTM Season 5 which is going to be totally different and amazing. Stay tuned. No plans of stopping yet!

You are welcome. I am not Dr. Miami. But stay tuned--I have a Podcast-Behind The Mask The Podcast coming out in June where there will be more discussion and answers to continue the learning process. I learn everyday. I love learning and I like to pass along the information. Thank you for subscribing.

Me too I’m 4 months but if I’m not satisfied I will be his patient

Thank you for watching! Please let me know if you have any topics that you would like covered.

@DrWilliamMiami so this topic actually was great. Is she experiencing any burning with the hardness? You kind of touched on the major topic for me which was the lumps and bumps, tenderness, the abdominal wall (definitely didn't even think about it being that at all lol). Did your patient mention anything about burning? I feel like I have the worst sunburn and anytime my clothes touches or I go to put lotion, I instantly feel like someone just smacked my sunburn (p.s I don't have sunburn). I'm assuming burning sensation is "normal". Maybe topics on burning and molding. The molding part is scary cause it's fighting the inevitable. And when I say molding, I'm talking about no matter what you wear or do, your body takes the shape of whatever is pressing against it and forms a hard structure until you massage it out or give it a couple hours. I know for me, thats scary lol

So burning is from nerve regeneration. There is a simple remedy--TOUCH! Yes, that's it just lots, and lots of touch by you or your caregiver and firm pressure, scratches, rubs, light tickle, medium pressure, dragging tissue paper across your skin. Do them all. It will drive you crazy to begin with but it's the only way to fix your burning. Anytime someone says "burning, or tearing or shearing or ripping"--they are all caused by nerve pain.

@DrWilliamMiami Thank you for the explanation. I will definitely give it a try because LET ME TELL YOU! ouch! Lol It is most uncomfortable, especially when trying to sleep. I'm about to have all types of scratch lines now haha jk

My pleasure!

That makes me feel good! I am glad it helped you. I have made so many videos but I feel as if there are just so many more topics we can discuss and share the healing process as so many patients go through the same thing and realizing that it is common can help relieve anxiety for patients. I think sometimes when patients see their surgeon after surgery, at least this is true for me, and you want to reassure a patient and say "hey, this is normal, don't worry" they sometimes think you are saying this just to make them feel better because they are your patient. But someone else tells the patient it is ok and they are reassured. So maybe I am that other person in this instance.

Just ❤️ how personable you are & how you show women of color ty!

I love educating my patients 😍

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much!

Good. I am glad I can help!

That's great to hear--it is common for patients to worry about things that to us as doctors is normal. Glad it helped. Good luck on your recovery.

Same girl I’m so swollen and I was getting worried but he made me fell so much better 🤩

You’re welcome 😊

Thank you love❤

Always welcome

That's an old video. Now I actually have a roller--The Ogee Roller. It is fantastic. Technically not released yet but it is available on the Ogee Recovery website. It has vibration that adds a lymphatic massage element that really adds to the decrease in swelling and prevents fibrosis and gives soft, smooth skin. It is available here ogeerecovery.com

Thanks

Wow. That's a lot! Sounds like you just need a little time.

In my experience these areas all become soft but it can take a very long time to do so. Gentle massage can help.

@@DrWilliamMiami thank you very much for your response. Happy Holidays to you and your family!

Thank you. Same to you. Such a great time of year.

Don't push the panic button yet. It takes a whole year to heal. Continue to exercise, eat clean and massage. If you are overweight then you will want to lose weight to get rid of the internal fat.

@@DrWilliamMiami thank you ever so much… you are the GOAT …

I'm.the same 10.days post op. I can see you posted your comment 10 months ago. How are you getting on present day? When did the hardness start improving please

I can't specifically answer a medical question here on this platform--I would follow up with your surgeon and make sure all is good. I have experienced patients having incisions that drain longer than expected as most close within 48 hours but I have not seen a problem with the wounds that remain open longer and they eventually close. Sometimes we see this under heavy breasts where the incisions stay open because they are moist.

They are normal. Massage is the best treatment for these areas but I would focus on manual lymphatic drainage and I suggest also using a roller in these areas.

Good question..I would think so. I had a total hysterectomy and I wish I would’ve massage and wore some type of compression for swelling and took did things differently. It seems to keep everything in position as it’s healing instead of all outta of sorts🥴 ya know?

Yes it is. It is an excellent postoperative garment and also an excellent garment to wear postpartum--for women who have just had a child.

Thank you love!

Personally I don't operate on patients with rheumatoid arthritis because of potential healing issues and asthma can also pose serious problems during surgery so sometimes not having surgery is the better and safer move.

@@DrWilliamMiami I think that’s why everywhere has rejected me so far, even if I wanted to have my arms or thighs done.

Sure. It is available on the Ogee Recovery website at: ogeerecovery.com/collections/ogee-roller

Hmm good question

I'm 4 weeks post op and was told that reopening your incisions increases the risk for infection. Massages will help to drain the fluid via urination.

Both. On top of faja when you are early in your recovery postop day 1 for example but then as you can tolerate it directly on your skin do it on your skin. But you wear your faja so much after surgery that it is also good to do it on top of the faja so you at least get a lot of rolling in.

Rolling devices are fantastic!!!! I am introducing one over the next several months--mine has a little extra something special to it! 🤫

@@DrWilliamMiamiI want it !!!will it be available for your post op dolls to purchase

@@DrWilliamMiami I don’t care what you invent I want it .. I know it will work

Time to Roll!! You can get the roller here: ogeerecovery.com/

I suggest using it as soon as you can tolerate the pressure. If you can use it lightly on post day number one than that's even better but I would use it everyday! You can't roll too much and it is so good for your skin and to prevent fibrosis.

After liposuction I want my patients up and moving right away and working out as soon as they feel well enough to workout. I have no restrictions for my patients undergoing liposuction. None. But every surgeon is different so I always suggest patients check with their surgeon.

IT's better on the skin but at first if your skin is too sensitive you can use it over the faja.

Watch this video on thigh lipo ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PhlxWNCRRM8.html

Sometimes patients will experience prolonged numbness but it typically mostly disappears after about 3 months.

The day after surgery.

Roll. That's the best treatment.

Sometimes you can, but other times there is just too much excess skin to perform the liposuction and the only option is a tummy tuck.

Hi. Has that happened to you, and has it gotten better

Lol that man does not need any lipo. He's happy the way he is.

I am not a candidate for liposuction. I have too much internal fat--although many viewers have suggested I need lipo!

Sadly, I don't think it is possible to "train" the waist--those products just squish you, but they don't have any long lasting affect on the body. I don't think pretreating with rollers will affect the lipo results.
