Lumps After Liposuction in Every Area. What Can I Do for It to Go Away? Will It Disappear.

What to expect 2 weeks after liposuction

In the first days and weeks after liposuction there will be swelling and tissue reaction that can make the areas look and feel lumpy-bumpy. Swelling and tissue reaction is often... more

Lumps After Lipo

At two weeks after lipo, lumps are normal. The lumps normally go away by three to four weeks. The fact that you saw awesome results immediately after lipo is the best indication of good results to come. Now is the time to focus on a healthy diet and exercise. If you do that, all should be fine.

Thanks guys sometimes I feel like I'm still swollen. I can't wear the girdle to work because my outfit shows my stomach. The whole area still feels numb. I was wondering if it's ok to exercise?
