Lumps and bumps after lipo are not unusual in my experience, even a few weeks down the road. In your case, the swelling could be from several causes, including too much early activity, not wearing a compression garment, and prolonged sitting.
I include a lymphatic massage for all of my clients because I think it speeds healing and reduces swelling. I also keep them in compression garments 24/7 at first.
The other doctors mentioned possible infection, and certainly any patient who develops swelling and increased pain a week or so after surgery needs to be seen.
