Tumescent Liposuction: Q&A
Ask a QuestionHard Lumps Normal After Tumescent Liposuction?
I had a Tumescent liposuction 21 days ago for my stomach and love handles. On day 16, I developed some hard lumps right where my pants rest. I have noticed a lot of swelling and it looks like I never had the procedure. Is this normal?

Lumps After Liposuction
It is not unusual to note firm areas after liposuction. Swelling is rarely uniform and therefore some areas may appear firmer and fuller than others. Occasionally a 'lump' of firm fat can appear due to excess swelling of this small amount of fat. This is slightly more common at sites where there is additional pressure from garments, clothing, etc... The good news is that not only is this a normal part of the healing process, it almost always resolves spontaneously.
