12 days postop still using garment and phone compression put on regular underwear and clothes to run errands for a few hours came back to a dent in my side. Is this normal? Can it be fixed without invasive or revision procedure?
Answer: Normal healing process The lumpiness, swelling, itching and hardness after a surgery like you had typically persists at least 8 weeks after the surgery then slowly goes away. In my experience, daily massage of the hard areas makes the biggest difference in getting rid of it sooner rather than later. Staying away from salt will make a big difference in swelling. It can easily take 6 months or more to see results. Be sure to keep any scheduled follow up appointments you have with your surgeons for his evaluation and advice. Hope this helps.

Answer: Dents after liposuction You are way too early to worry about what your final contour will be. Follow directions and wear your garments. Seek the advice of your doctor. If there are dents at 6 months plan for a revision at 12 possibly. Thene again it may self correct.
