Question

I had tummy/back liposuction, and I am wearing a medical compression garment. How long do I have to wear this?

Answer 1

Usually 6 weeks or s: Your surgeon must have advised you about that.On an average 3-6 weeks.

Answer 2

I like six weeks: I've always preferred to keep my patients in garments for about 6 weeks. Many patients learn to like to like the extra support and will keep them on longer.

Answer 3

Liposuction: I usually recommend 6 weeks. http://vipplasticsurgery.com/body/#liposuction.

Answer 4

Surgeon's choice: I would follow the advice of your plastic surgeon who performed your surgery. The longer the better really. :).

Answer 5

Yes: There are a number of reasons for a miscarriage. Most, however, are a random event and a single miscarriage does not predict future problems. The fact a patient has a miscarriage at least indicates the ability to get pregnant. Repeat miscarriages should be evaluated. There may not be a solution or the solution may be easier than one thinks.

Answer 6

Yes: You should still be able to conceive once you resume your normal cycles.

Answer 7

No: If you are truly pregnant and in the process of shedding the pregnancy tissue you cannot conceive. Once the tissue is gone, then the ovaries can resume ovulating and pregnancy will be possible.

Answer 8

No: It's unclear what you mean by miscarriage. If you already have a hormone level from a miscarriage it's unlikely that your body is going to be able to ovulate. If that miscarriage is still inside the uterus then that is not a hospitable environment for a new implantation to occur. Typically it's going to take 2 to 6 weeks for your body to ovulate again and get pregnant again.

Answer 9

Yes: Any child that is exhibiting symptoms of a heart defect should be seen. In infants this may be difficulty breathing or sweating when eating, episodes of turning blue or your pediatrician might hear an abnormal heart murmur. It is often better to see a pediatric cardiologist if one is available even before have an echo cardiogram performed.

Answer 10

Yes: Infants have a predictable pattern of daily activities that parents will know better than anyone. They should play with vigor, feed with interest and rest well when tired. If you think the work of breathing is increasing, feeds take longer and are interrupted to breathe, baby may have lung or heart issues. Sweating with feeds or pale or bluish color changes too. Have baby seen by your doctor.

Answer 11

Depends on hormones : I think that would depend on the type of hormone you are talking about and the scan you had. If you didnt get instructions then check with your doctor first. Did you have a thyroid scan? Was it a bone scan or a density scan?

Answer 12

Check with the doc: Many blood pressure medications take longer than a week to have their full effect. Check with your doctor as you may need a higher dose or another medication. Hbp is damaging over the long term most of the time and not over a few days so check with your doctor.

Answer 13

Urine metabolite WU.: You seem to have a high blood pressure for no other issues. This might be a catecholamine producing lesion in your body called a pheochromocytoma. This does have other symptoms, like sweating, headaches, palpitations, and weight loss, but the biggest thing is pronounced hypertension. It might also mean the BP meds need more time. Get a urine catecholamine metabolite 24 hour collection to see.

Answer 14

Not yet: A single seizure does not epilepsy make! a careful history and neurologic evaluation may determine that it was an incidental event. Recurrent seizures with specific findings on eeg, examination and MRI may lead to a diagnosis of epilepsy. Epilepsy is the clinical condition of a risk for seizures.
