Lumps and dimples on my stomach 2 weeks after liposuction. is this normal? (Photo)

July 11, 2014
Asked By:NCAthlete in Charlotte, NC

I'm exactly 2 weeks post liposuction to my flanks, back upper thighs and stomach. We only removed 900cc as I was very fit already but had some minor problem areas. Looked great at first, but now that swelling is going down I have extremely noticeable lumps and dimples that make my stomach area looked deformed. I'm wearing compression and massaging regularly. Dr. states to wait and see if we need to fat graft later but that he thinks it will resolve. Any comments or input? Is this normal?Update/Edit - Consumer had 900cc removed, not 90cc.
