Answer: Lumps In Neck After Liposuction
After liposuction of the neck, I recommend ultrasound (the kind the physical therapist uses for sore muscles and not the kind that sees the baby in the uterus). This is known as therapeutic ultrasound. If liposuction is done as a separate surgery, we begin ultrasound 3 days after surgery. If it is done in association with a facelift, we begin ultrasound 7 days after surgery. It usually takes about 8 ultrasound treatments and it clears 99% of any lumpiness. Very dilute injections of corticosteroid done by a very experienced plastic surgeon and followed by ultrasound may be necessary in the most extreme cases.

Answer: 4 weeks is a bit early from neck lipo.
Lumps and bumps are expected at 4 to 8 weeks after neck liposuction (any liposuction really). I would let things continue to heal for another couple of months. Things that have not resolved may persist but it is surprising how much things can improve in this time frame.
