It seems as though you have developed some swelling following your procedure. This is quite normal, especially in the flanks. Lympatic massage or deep tissue massage should greatly help you. You would be best advised to discuss your concerns with your surgeon as they can best guide you.
What can be done about Liposuction lumps?
I had Liposuction on my abdomen, flanks, and inner knees. I am 11 days post-op. I have developed some lumping. I did it because diet and exercise didn't work for me. A great deal of the swelling has gone down, about 50%. What can I do about the lumps, if anything? Thanks in advance for your answers!

A: Massage or pre-tunneling
If lumps are discovered in the early post operative period, lymphatic massage could help to make them go away. Pre-tunneling with small cannulas could also help to make lumps disappear. Best of luck!
