Lumps are not uncommon

Ronald Shelton, MD answers: Abdomen surface resembles cellulite after Liposuction?

I had Liposuction of the abdomen a little over a year ago. There is a small section on my stomach that has surface irregularities that resembles cellulite.

Is there anything now that can be done to help this? Like some type of massage or other treatment? Or am I stuck with it? Thanks so much for your replies.

This is not that uncommon. Some patients see improvement with external ultrasound treatment, endermologie or VelaShape treatments. Doing a small liposuction procedure with a very small cannula in this same area may help, but there is a chance it could look worse too. Discuss it with your surgeon.
