I had 360 liposuction abdominal area, flanks, anterior, posterior area, in July I have lumps in certain areas. How do I get rid?

Question

What do I need to do to get rid of the lumps? Or do I need to have lipo in the same area because I still look as if I didn't have the surgery. I'm disappointed at the outcome. Waste of 7K!!! Is there a doctor in the house that can help me please?

Stacey. Sorry you have had this experience. Photographs would greatly help to provide a more detailed recommendation, but I would wait a full six months postop to evaluate your result.  At that point discuss your concerns with your board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Dear wstacey1018,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

There are several possibilities including residual skin laxity, residual fat, unrecognized fluid collection, etc.  Follow up with your PS as only an exam can sort these issues out.

Hi, and thanks for your question. I'm sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your results after liposuction. Sometimes massaging the areas can help smooth out lumpiness after liposuction. Contour irregularities are something we all strive to avoid, though do occasionally happen. Your swelling can persist for up to 6 months after liposuction before you can truly see the final result. To be fair, you are probably nearing that point. I would advise returning to your original surgeon and pointing out your areas of concern. If you don't feel that you are getting the answers you want, it is never wrong to have a second opinion.
 Look for a Plastic Surgeon you can trust, and who is willing to listen and help you meet your aesthetic goals. Good luck!
