Thank you for the question! It is rather difficult to fully evaluate your situation without an in-person exam. The lumpiness you describe could either refer to remaining pockets of fat that weren't liposuctioned successfully or swelling. It's not uncommon to experience some swelling shortly after the procedure. Typically, it takes 2-3 weeks for most bruising and postoperative discomfort to resolve, and additional 3-6 months for swelling to completely subside. An in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon would be the best way to assess your situation and guarantee an individualized medical advice. Best of luck!
If it is from swelling, almost always resolves by 4-6 months. If it is irregular remaining fat - never.
