I had under arms lipo more than three months ago. I had these concerns at 4 weeks but was told to let them heal on their on. Now two more months have gone by nothing changed. What should I do, please advise!

Answer: 14 wks post arm lipo, still experiencing bumps, lumps, possible hardening and scarring of tissue, adhesion, discoloration. Lumps can occur after liposuction. It is possible that there are leftover fat deposits that would need additional suctioning. Induration and hardness are components of the normal healing process. Swelling and healing as well as scar maturation can persist for 6 months and sometimes up to 1 year following liposuction. Massage and time may be all that is needed. Sometimes additional surgery may be of benefit. If there is anything suggestive of a fluid collection, hematoma, infection, or blood clot, see your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Uneven after liposuction Dear lleesa20,While there is always a chance for contour irregularities with liposuction, someone who takes their time and uses the appropriate sized cannulas should give you a superb result.I have all my patients wear compression garments and I use multiple sized cannulas to feather out the result. If you are concerned, I suggest you to discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. Daniel Barrett, MD
