Hi- I had smart lipo about 3 weeks ago on my abdomen (upper and lower) and my flanks. My skin right now is very uneven. There are bumps all over my upper abdomen. They are not hard, but soft and mushy. My flanks and lower abdomen look great, but if these bumps dont go away, I will be devastated. I can't wear a bikini with my stomach like this.. :-(
Is it too soon for me to be worrying about this? How can I be sure these will go away??!! I am losing sleep worrying.......

If this uneveness goes away, can say that she and her staff were wonderful.
Thank you for checking.... Nothing has changed. It is about 14 mos out from my procedure and the dents still remain the same. My stomach looks so abnormal and is just makes me sooo sad. Not sure if I want to try to fix it or not... I'm just so scared that my results won't be good. :-((
I was thinking about you and wondering how you are doing? Have things change for the better for you or are you still struggling? Hope you are doing okay.

It is Natalie. I searched and found your profile. Thermage may help even things out a bit for you. Have things evened out a little bit more than the photos? The garments have a tendency to cause some indentations too so once that is fully removed it may help with smoothing out in areas. You are right though your tummy being flat and the contouring of it looks great!!
Everyone PLEASE USE A BOARD CERTIFIED Cosmetic Surgeon, don't use the spa people! I had the smart breast awake augmentation. I am so scared something was not done correctly because they don't look right, I am setting up an appointment with Dr. Greene in SA.
Other bumps were hard and those went away by about the 2-3 month mark. So hang in there (I know its soooo hard). Im sure you will look great!
Im feeling very bumpy!!! :)
Its been 4 months and the bumps havent decreased in size. At first the dr told me it was swelling and then admitted that the fat wasnt settling properly and I required a touch up (which Im doing next Tuesday-April 26th). Im not looking forward to the surgery again. Though hopefully it wont be as painful as before.
Im also worry that the bumps wont go away. You can not see them through my clothes but I couldnt wear dresses bc of the bumps on my knees. I also cant wear a bikini. My stomach used to be the best thing about me...hopefully it will again. Though if this dr cant fix it I will find someone who can as I cant go through my life with bumps everywhere.
Someone else on this site said only to get 1 or 2 sites done at a time. I think they are right.
Now that I scared the pants off of you, I am 2 sizes smaller. I am a better shape inwhich pants fit again. My legs have also gotten thinner. I look fantastic in clothes.
What are you having done? Good luck with your surgery! Since we are going at the same time we can chat more if you want.
Cheers

thanks.
From your pics, it looks like it will eventual even out, the bumps are small. I know how you are feeling though. Thank goodness we all have this website to help each other through it.
Thanks, I hope it works out well for you, that really sucks though that you have to have additional surgery. I am having my upper stomach, lower stomach, flanks, hips. Keep me posted and I will do the same.

your comment is encouraging though. if yours looked like mine did, but eventually evened out, then maybe there is still a chance for me. do you have any idea what is causing all those little soft bumps?
Nervous and excited!!!

Good luck on your procedure...mine was fairly painless and my healing process was very easy and smooth. the only downfall are my lumps........ good luck! let us know if you get any unevenness.
