I had SmartLipo on the upper and lower abs, flanks and my upper and lower back. I still am lumpy on my stomach 4mo later. Is that normal?
Answer: Lumpy skin after Smartlipo Dear patient, Edema, swelling and deep bruising can take up to 6 months to resolve. Having said that your doctor can examine you and determine if the lumpiness is because of remaining fat pockets that did not respond or skin that is still shrinking or even the rare accumulation of fluid (seroma). I would recommend that you discuss this with your surgeon and consider lymphatic drainage, gentle Ultrasound and massage, over even a short course of anti-inflammatory medication such as Prednisone to help the healing process.

Answer: Lumps I would suggest letting your surgeon check you for excessive swelling or residual fat. At this point, you should not really be having lumps.
