Hello. I have SmartLipo a month ago and my lumps have grown bigger, harder and more pronounced. My stomach look really bad. I am very concerned... and everytime I call my doctor they tell me this is normal; but they haven't even seen me. I am frustrated with my doctor and the clinic. I spent all my savings on this; and I am not satisfied, I feel like they dont even care... I would like some advice. what kind of massage could help? Is this really normal? thank you. I am desperate.
Answer: Best Way to Get Rid of Lumps After SmartLipo Dear Deanna. Thank you for submitting your question. I am sorry you are feeling frustrated with your surgery. Swelling after liposuction will last for many weeks after surgery. Hard lumpy areas are common in the first several weeks after lipo but rest assurred they will dissapate in 6-12 weeks. Final results take 6-12 months. Continue to use your contour garment, massage the hard areas , external ultrasound and lymphatic massage will help to decrease swelling. Discuss your concerns with your Plastic surgeon.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Lymphatic massages are recommended We usually recommend lymphatic massages or post surgical massages to all our patients. Massages have to be given three times a week, every week for at least a month. It is very normal to have swelling and inflammation at the beginning, this can last up to four to six months. The best advice I can give you is to show up in person at your doctors clinic and follow up with him/her. He/she will let you know if the swelling is normal or if you are going to need additional treatment.

Answer: Smoothing out the lumps following Smart Lipo
It is normal to feel bumps following Smart Lipo beginning 3 to 4 weeks following the procedure. The lumps are areas of treated fat your body is in the process of healing. The lumps are generally detected by feel and are typically not big enough to see. I recommend lymphatic message for all of my patients and external ultrasound therapy for resistant areas. I recommend making an appointment with your surgeon to make sure that you are healing properly. Express your concern to the office staff of your surgeon, and you should be given a follow-up appointment soon. If you are not satisfied with the level of care you are receiving, I would recommend a second opinion with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best of Luck.

Answer: Getting rid of SmartLipo lump
It is common to have some lumps after any liposuction procedure. The key is knowing how to manage these lump. Many techniques are available, but you need to be able to see your doctor to give you the best advice. Many patients get frustrated with not being able to see their doctor after the procedure. Think of how many times you saw your doctor before the procedure? The service prior to the procedure should give you a hint of the service after the procedure. In my practice, I personally meet with my patients at least twice prior to the procedure to make sure I understand their needs and desires. I then see them as often as they need. This is usually a few days after surgery and as often as they need to make sure we achieve the best result. We have set intervals for these followup appointments. Good luck!
