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

Although you're 6 weeks out from
your SmartLipo procedure, it's still far too soon to assume you'll need a
revisionary treatment or that your results are permanent. Lumpiness is a normal
part of the healing process after liposuction and may take up to 12 weeks to
resolve completely. See the surgeon who performed your SmartLipo to learn more
about what you can expect and what you can do to facilitate the best possible
outcome. Good luck!

Thank you for submitting your question. I am sorry you are feeling disappointed with your surgery. Swelling after liposuction will last for many weeks after surgery. Hard lumpy areas are common in the first several weeks after lipo but rest assurred they will dissapate in 6-12 weeks. Final results take 6-12 months. Continue to use your contour garment, massage the hard areas , external ultrasound and lymphatic massage will help to decrease swelling. I would not recommend massaging the arms to the point it is bruised; this is causing more trauma and swelling. to the area  Discuss your concerns with your Plastic surgeon.

Active massage will help the areas noted as the lymphatic system improves with time.  I would continue massage and continue to have your surgeon monitor the results. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles
