Hi everyone ! I have been beside myself trying to find out what is the meaning of this strange bulge on sides. It appeared after liposuction to the back here in Toronto in February . I have had 12 post lymphatic massages and the bulge hs not gone away . It is buoyant as it responds to gravity ( when I move in opposite direction it decreases, when I move towards it , it increases ) I have had MRI and CT scan which confirm is is not a hernia or seroma . My surgeon is no help at all.
