I had a abdominal pouch like most women. The day after surgery my stomach look fantastic, but after the third week my stomach as a huge noticeable lump below my navel off to the right.
I am hoping my doctor is going to fix this. The overall goal of SmartLipo is to expect realistic results and this lump is not realistic at all. Yes my stomach is smaller overall, but the lump makes it look like it did before.

I will go back Monday 4/18. I am hoping he can do something to fix it. The whole idea of SmartLipo is to keep realistic expectations, but a speed bump in the middle of my stomach is not realistic. I am just hoping it does in fact disappear within the next 2 months, but I have a feeling it won't. We will see.

That doesn't sound good at all. Is that typical, I mean do they tell you that this is a possibility?
I hope it all get taken care of and most of all your health is not affected as a result of this.
Please keep us posted.

No I was not made aware that such lumps might possibly occur. I wasn't high risk, it was supposed to be an easy process.
I went to the doctor yesterday. He said he will do everything he can to make sure I get the final results we had hoped for. Right now, we just have to wait until I hit my 3 month mark. From there he will asses the situation and take the next step. If the lumps are still areas of fat he's going to inject them with some solution that is supposed to dissolve fat. If that doesn't work another surgery will be scheduled. I am just grateful he will fix the problem.

southerndiva ... any update you can give us? ...
I could use some more reasurance that the bump/swelling you had (which I also have in the exact same spot) will resolve over time. Thanks.
