I Have Lumps and Itching 3 Months After Sciton Pro Lipo W/ Water Lipo on ABDOMEN Is This Permanent? (photo)

I had sciton laser lipo on sept 21st 2012 & I looked amazing for a couple weeks after & had minimal swelling. I had 2lbs of fat removed from my abdomen/love handles. I was 5'1" 119 Im now 115. The lumps have slowly become less over 3 months, but I'm concerned this may be my final result? I used a top surgeon whos a teacher for sciton & does approx 200 lipos a year. I also have bouts of itching occasionally.It looks worse when i arch my back (see photo 2) Photo 1 is me standing normal.

Lumps and Bumps after Liposuction

I am sure that your surgeon is an expert, but these types of results can happen even in the best of hands. Remember though that you may get better in a few months. Even if the results persist, be patient and let your plastic surgeon offer suggestions.

Thanks for the posted photos. Your UN arched result is excellent! While I see the irregularities when stretching out, you should allow a few month months of healing. But there is a very real possibility of permanency of these irregularities in contour. I might suggest external ultrasound therapy. But if still unhapy only PRP Fat grafting to the valleys will improve them.

It takes approximately 6 months for wound healing to be near complete, including after liposuction. I would discuss ultrasound vs radiofrequency therapy with your doctor to see if this can help soften your internal scarring. Good luck

Lipo results - finalized at 3 month.

Usually my patients are happier at 3 months than a couple weeks. Best to follow-up with your plastic surgeon, and see what they have to say. see video
