I have some hard lumps underneath my skin after Smart Lipo, should I be concerned?

Hi monalisa13,
Since you just had your procedure so recently, it is completely normal to have lumps and even hard spots underneath the skin following liposuction. This will be internal bruising, swelling, and scabbing, which can persist for several weeks, up to several months. Over time, the areas will soften up and smooth out. The area will still be sore, however, it shouldn't be painful. Remember, liposuction results take time, so be patient. 

hello monalisa13 . Numbness around suction area will improve a few weeks after the procedure; lumpiness will also decrease with time although massaging can quicken the softening. #lumps #post-op 

It is normal to feel bumps following Smart Lipo beginning 3 to 4 weeks following the procedure. The lumps are areas of treated fat your body is in the process of healing.  The lumps are generally detected by feel and are typically not big enough to see. I recommend lymphatic message for all of my patients and external ultrasound therapy for resistant areas. I recommend making an appointment with your surgeon to make sure that you are healing properly. Express your concern to the office staff of your surgeon, and you should be given a follow-up appointment soon. If you are not satisfied with the level of care you are receiving, I would recommend a second opinion with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best of Luck.
