Large and Very Hard Lump After Smart Lipo

I had Smart Lipo 3 months ago, and I now have a huge and very hard lump on my abdomen, but it's not painful. My doctor said to massage and it will go away. I was completly flat after surgery, and then around 6 weeks post-op, this lump came up. Is it normal for it to come up that late? Will it go away by 6 months like my doctor says? Please help!

Difficult to say without an exam...

Hi there- It is very difficult to know what might be happening without an examination... In my opinion, SmartLipo is not as great an option as the manufacturer and their marketing machine would have people believe... Having used lasers for liposuction, as well as all other options available, I do not think that the laser devices are as safe and effective as alternatives... This is further complicated by the fact that it seems most providers performing SmartLipo are not certified by The American more
