Surface irregularity from abdominal liposuction. Can exercise help?

September 20, 2015
Asked By:kathy341 in Boston, MA

I am 6 months post ab liposuction. I have some lumps that looks like uneven fat removal. I know revision lipo/fat grafting is one solution. What about exercise? I am still chubby overall (35-40% body fat). If I continue to work out until I have very defined abs, like those with abs fat you can barely pinch, I don't see how the big lumps could persist. Therefore, my question is: Can I improve the appearance of abs lipo irregularity if I go from chubby to very fit (think fitness model with abs) ?
