I had ultrasound liposuction on my abdomen just 6 months ago, and there are some areas under my skin that are still protruding. It doesn't feel like fat, and it has definitely shrunk after some compression and 2-3 lymphatic massages. However, it's still there and I'm not sure how to get rid of it. It feels more like a solid mass than fat, and I'm not sure how to get rid of it. The first 2 pics are before lipo, next 2 right after lipo, last 2 are today.

Answer: Abdomen Ask your surgeon to order an ultrasound of your abdomen to see if there are pockets of fluid still present. If so, they can be drained by the radiologist or surgeon.

Answer: Hi lk1223 Hello, I am Dr. Serkan Kaya Ekinci. As after the classical liposuction surgery; The edema and swelling that existed in the early period is replaced by production over time, and this efficiency decreases over time, and the tissues reach their original consistency after 3-6 months. Initial reproduction occurs after the third month. then it gradually decreases. In fact, we recommend that you get the final result for up to 1 year. My suggestion for you is that you keep in mind that the swelling will continue to decrease and the thinning will continue day by day. As far as I can tell from the photos, there is no problem. If it bothers you very much, it would be beneficial to see your doctor friend who performed your surgery. I hope I could help you.
