Liposuction verses Liposculpture and the healing process after liposuction.
BE CALM AND PATIENT. When you have plastic surgery part od the contract is that you must agree to the healing process. Lummpiness is a part of the healing pattern. You will smooth out definitely with time. You can do massage et etc but 95% of improvement comes with TIME. The healing precess takes one year. This is what you signed up for. It is part odf the deal. In 3 months you will be greaty improved. And please remember...

Swelling and areas of firmness common just after liposculpture and liposuction
First of all, you are still in the immediate postoperative period and are expected to be swollen with areas of firmness. This is not your final result so be comforted by this message and relax a bit. Massage can help manage firm lumps and bumps following liposuction/liposculpture.
Therapeutic or "lymphatic massage" may be helpful following a Liposculpture or Liposuction (Smart Lipo, Vaser, Tickle lipo, or conventional lipo) to minimize swelling. Make sure your surgeon...

Post liposuction results.
I would start by saying BE PATIENT. Swelling, bruising and lumpiness can last a few months post surgery. The second week seems to be the most difficult for patients. You feel that you should see better results by your second week and become impatient when you don't. Give it some time, and if you are not happy by 6 weeks, then I would recommend to meet with your surgeon to discuss what can be done to fix your problem. Best of luck.

Lumpiness after Liposuction
Thank you for your question. Please be patient! You are only 2 weeks out of surgery and it will take at least 4-6 months for everything to heal and for you to see your final results. Keep communicating with your surgeon and doing the massage will help. I ask my patients to wear the compression garment for 4 weeks after surgery. I also encourage getting out and walking as often as possible to help with the healing process. Best WisheS!

How do I treat a lumpy bumpy stomach after liposculpture
Occasionally an abdomen will have lumps and bumps after liposculpture. You will need to wait 3-6 months for that to settle down. The best treatments are walking outdoors for 1 hour (4 miles) every day and taking ibuprofen. Walking accelerates healing and is an example of low impact aerobics which speeds metabolism of fat.

Lumpy and bumpy 2 weeks after LipoSculpture / Liposuction
Two weeks is early to see results with LipoSculpture. Without seeing you it is very difficult to comment. However ultrasound therapy can help with lumpy and bumpy areas. Usually 3 to 4 sessions are all that is needed. Sometimes the garment can create folds and indentations since they are not custom made to your dimensions but are fitted as close as something off the rack can be. Discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. You may just need a different garment or extra padding over...

Lumps and bumps after stomach or abdominal lipo liposuction
Discuss your concerns with your surgeon, if you trusted him/her to perform the surgery to make sure there are no treatable causes (seroma, hematoma). Lumps and bumps are common during this phase of healing and generally improve with time (3 months)
