When will my bumps after smart lipo go away?

Hello and thank you for your question.It is normal to have bumps, lumps, and irregularities at his point in your recovery. Wearing a garment and massaging the area will help to improve this. It may take  months for you to see the final result. Continue to follow all your instructions and contact your surgeon with any concerns. Best of luck! 

Lipo massage (not lymphatic massage) and compression work best for lipo lumps. The most common lumps are pockets of trapped fluid that have hardened. That's why it's important to start the massage process immediately after the procedure. If you can't afford a professional massage, get a friend to help out or do it yourself by hand, with a foam roller, or with a vibrating massager. Of course, if your lumps are something other than trapped fluid, this won't work. See your surgeon first.

The bumps are usually temporary are fade over several weeks to months. They are part of the healing process. Fluids, compression and daily massage in warm shower helps. You can use a soapy washcloth or loofah. Also, a rolling pin over the areas.Close follow up with your plastic surgeon is recommended during this time for instructions.
