Im 13 days after smartlipo in my abs, flanks and axila/bra area and 5 days ago I developed a big wavy pocket next to my belly button the size of a cd, when I put the binder I had this burning sensation, it was drained out at the doctors but it came back yesterday, not as big but giving an awful look to my stomach, why is this happening? I have very painful lumps on the bra area and wearing no spanx but no fluid there.

SmartLipo

You have a small seroma that is having trouble healing. Your doctor needs to continue to monitor this and this will delay healing, but if you are compliant, the results should not be compromised.

Continue to see your doctor until this resolves.

This may be a seroma which is a pocket of fluid that sometimes occurs following liposuction. If you doctor is a skilled and experience in performing many cases of liposuction and SmartLipo, he/she will know what to do for you.
