Lumpiness after liposuction

Sometimes lumpiness develops after liposuction. This can be swelling or contour asymmetries. You may want to massage the area and follow-up closely with your doctor.

Swelling after liposuction

You have a significant amount of localized swelling but spread over a wide area. You should be examined by your surgeon to determine if you have a seroma, undercorrection, or a excessive swelling.

May have seroma after liposuction.

Hi. Not normal result. I think you need a sonogram to make sure you don't have a fluid collection that needs to be aspirated.

Disappointing Liposuction Result

This photograph does not demonstrate a good liposuction result. After uniform liposuction, the treated areas are more or less much flatter. This is not the case here. Only an examination can tell if we are looking at inflammation fluid accumulation or an uneven area of irregular liposuction. You need to see your surgeon and have him explain to you what he thinks is going on.
