About 6 months ago I had liposuction from outter thighs, hips and inner knees with a fat transfer to buttocks. I feel the Dr. has taken to much fat out of my outter thighs and hips and I am now lumpy and unporportioned and my butt looks smaller! I saw another surgeon to get a 2nd opinon and this dr. suggested I go for deep Tissue massages. So I am and its very painful and I do not see any results.

Answer: Massage and liposuction
Absolutely, I often have out patients go through a series of post liposuction massaging for certain areas where the tissues crease (abdomen). These are deep lymphatic based massages to help reduce potential lumpiness.

Answer: Liposuction
Sorry to hear about your bad experience.
As a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who does hundreds of Liposuctions each year, lumpiness is always a concern. I employ 3 full time estheticians who do post-op lymphatic drainage massage, and find the results of my procedures has improved dramatically. Patients see results sooner, and are much happier. This is
something that I did not learn in my training at Columbia, but from visiting surgeons from other countries.
At six months, it is much harder to treat, but I have seen improvement in certain patients. I would tell you to find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area that offers these services to see if it may help. It is much less expensive than more surgery, if you are a good candidate.
Hope this helps.
