9 weeks post tradition lipo feeling lumpy, is this normal ? (photos)

Healing after liposuction k is usually pretty straight forward. There is a process of swelling and bruising that peaks at 3 days after surgery and then undergoes the first stage of major resolution in the first 2 weeks after surgery. The later phase of healing takes place over the 2-3 months after surgery where everything really settles and softens. It is after this time that we are getting close to the final result, though this varies patient to patient.

Thank you for submitting your question. Swelling (lumps and bumps) after liposuction will last for many weeks
after surgery. Final results take 6-12 months. Continue to use your contour
garment, minimize activities and lymphatic massage help with the swelling.
Discuss your concerns with your Plastic surgeon.

This does look irregular. However, it is very common to have bruising and swelling for weeks to months after liposuction procedures. What is most important is that you follow your surgeons post operative instructions and continue compression. If you are concerned, lymphatic massage and Velashape or Venus Legacy treatments can be used to improve the swelling and help the skin tighten. My patients start treatments right away and it improves the long term results. Speak to your physician if you are concerned. Best, Dr. Emer.

Irregularities after liposuction can happen. It is important to see your doctor to review and discuss these. In some patients, TiteFx or Fractora Plus can help to make the skin even but you always need the assessment and review first.I hope that helps and best regards, Dr. Sapijaszko.

It is normal to feel some lumpiness this early after liposuction. There's swelling and tissue inflammation. Based on the limited view photos, I'm more concerned about the unnatural grooving across the lower abdomen than the lumpiness. These areas were over suctioned and you most likely will end up with oblique grooves across the abdomen. It is fine to place depressions in certain ares, such as the border between the lateral rectus muscle and the obliques, or a slight depression in the mid-line from the breast bone to the belly button. All these emphasize an athletic looking abdomen. Your grooves are unnatural. You need to wait at least 6 months for a possible revision. At that point, traditional liposuction might not be able to give good improvement. In my practice, I do a significant number of secondary liposuctions after patients had suboptimal surgery elsewhere. I use the VASER to release the scars and often employ fat grafting to improve the results. These are very difficult to correct completely. That is why is so important to choose a board certified plastic surgeon and not a cosmetic surgeon with different surgical or even non-surgical backgrounds, poor training and understanding of tissue healing. Good luck, need to be patient now. Too early an intervention will further detract from your results.
