How Long for the Upper and Lower Abs Skin to Look Smooth After Smart Lipo?

I had smart liposuction performed on my upper and lower abs threes weeks ago. My stomach is flatter but the skin appears irregular with lumps, bumps and wavys. It quite disturbing to look at. I work out every day and have a tone figure. Prior to the smart lipo, I had a small pouch but was still able to wear a bikini. I'm concerned my stomach will permanently be scarred this way. I'm starting to massage the area now. Will this improve with time and what can I do to assist it to heal correctly?

Lumps may change for three to six momtha or more afyer lipo

If you have many lumps you may not see much improvement but give it maximum duration to mature before you have it revised but aee your surgeon now for reassurance.
