How common are liposuction lumps and will I get them because I’m more of a fit body type?

you need a very specific type of liposuction, vaser HD lipo for female sculpting. 
You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best.  Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring.  Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods.  The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring.  This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face.  Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra.  If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty).  Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.  Dr. Emer.

AegeanC91I appreciate your concern, however you are an excellent candidate for liposuction utilizing smaller cannulas, also called micro liposuction. An experienced, properly trained plastic surgeon can deftly contour these regions effectively without leaving the skin irregularities that concern you.  You are a great candidate because you are fit and the areas of concern have well-defined pockets of fat. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to greatly increase your chances for the best possible result. Good luck.

The patient must have adequate skin elasticity to allow for skin retraction after surgery. This factor is the most important element to good results aside from technical proficiency of the surgeon and the patient’s ability to follow the postoperative regimen of wearing the compression garment appropriately and the avoidance of exercise or strain for 6 weeks.  The results depend very little on the method used and very much on the surgeon selected.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
