So I went to doctor with the advice from doctors on here. My GP said it was infected, put me on Cephalexin 500mg- 4 times a day, and told me to go see the local PS (not mine), after the infection is gone, not sure why. The lump does not seem to have liquid in it anymore, it was almost gone, until I rolled area with rolling pin to smooth out but now its gone almost hard, lumpy, warm to touch, and the bruising is spreading.It started as a seroma is it still, or is it a hemota, should I wait it out.

Answer: Liposuction and Concerns for Hematoma or Seroma
Thank ypu for your question. Ankle liposuction can be performed but very carefully with an experienced surgeon. Swelling will last longer and compression stocking are placed for a longer period of time. Best Wishes.
Any concerns of abnormal swelling need to be investigated by your plastic surgeon. Although this may be normal postoperative swelling, this may represent a fluid collection that needs to be drained or something else. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
