How long does it take for the lumpiness to go away after liposuction in the stomach area?

Thank you for your question. Healing after liposuction k is usually pretty straight forward.  There is a process of swelling and bruising that peaks at 3 days after surgery and then undergoes the first stage of major resolution in the first 2 weeks after surgery.  The later phase of healing takes place over the 2-3 months after surgery where everything really settles and softens.  It is after this time that we are getting close to the final result, though this varies patient to patient. 

Swelling and or irregularities 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

Thank you for sharing your question and congratulations on your liposuction procedure.  Depending on the extent of liposuction you had performed, it may take up to 6 months or longer for any lumpiness to go away.  The lumpiness is often a combination of asymmetrical swelling and early scar formation that needs time to resolve.  Hang in there!
