1.5 years post op - what are these irregular bumps/dimples along my ab line? (Photos)

Asked By:stayingalive in Chicago Heights, Illinois

31 yr old female, 1.5 years post abdomen lipo. Followed all the post op instructions. The doctor kept telling me the bumps were just swelling and now it still hasn't gone away. He now says he doesn't know what's causing it but offered to do revision lipo. I am worried it will make it worse. What is causing these irregularities? It's only visible along my upper abdomen and the vertical ab line. More obvious when I stretch the skin taut. Tried Exillis and I don't think it helped.
