Will this soft lump on my thigh go away on its own? I had lipo 8 months ago (Photo)

Question

So it’s been about 8 months since I’ve had liposuction/fat transfer to my breasts. I had Lipo on my thigh/knee area, and when I look in the mirror I can see this bulge but it’s not hard at all and doesn’t feel any different then my regular skin. I asked my plastic surgeon about it and he said eventually it would go away on its own. Is there still time for it to go away even though it’s been 8 months?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

At eight months post op you are seeing your final results.  If you are not noting improvement to the area you could consider a small revision to improve the contour.  Because this area is small you can likely  address it in a office surgical suite under local anesthesia.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

No, you have fairly well healed by now. If you look at your before photos, I suspect this fullness was present. Removing the fullness above this area now shows this area more.

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

Liposuction and Rizzo are typically close to final by six weeks and final at three months. At eight months your results are not going to change further and this is your final outcome. The only thing that’s going to change with Payam is the incision which can take 12 to 18 months to be final.
