Bumps, Lumps and Roping After Smart Lipo: Is This Normal?

All types of liposuction can potentially have risks and complications. Laser liposuction might carry higher risk and rate for complications by causing burns, areas of dents, and Hyperpigmentation. massage and time will hopefully help to improve the outcome, but at times it might be necessary to have fat grafting and revision liposuction.

Arms can be a problem area, but I have had very good results with Smartlipo in this area.  Some swelling after 6 weeks is normal.  It will look like "lumps and bumps".  Usually your surgeon can tell if the amount you have is within normal limits.  It is too early to judge the final result at 6 weeks.  How much swelling you have depends on how much was done and how you heal.  Soft tissue massage can be useful to help dissipate the lumps.  I can't tell without an exam, or at least a photo, to what degree you have lumps and if they are likely to go away.  One thing for certain, they should continue to improve as the tissue softens and heals fully.
