Q: How effective are post-Liposuction touch-ups? asked by Bodyofamom Boston,...

A:

 The bumps you are referring to could be either scar tissue that has formed after liposuction.  If that is the case, time and massage should provide some improvement. A persistently hard scar may respond to corticosteroid injection, however, this injection can have its own set of complications such as tissue atrophy and telangiectasias, so not a great choice.

If the bumps are due to under-suctioned fat deposits, then liposuction with a small cannula could be helpful.  The closer these deformities are to the actual skin, the less likely it is to achieve excellent correction.

Being prudent about revisional surgery is very smart.  In the case evolving scars, time is usually on your side.
