I had abdominal lipo done in October 2011. I Had It Paired with a Ba. I requested a small amount of fat be removed around my belly button only, no where else - assuming they would go in through my belly button. Unfortunately, they went in through my pubic area and ended up not being able to remove fat. I now have slight lumps on the right side of my lower abdomen that have not gone away. I am 5 months pregnant and wondering if pregnancy can help correct the lumps. Has anyone heard of this happening?
