Bulge/shelf on hip after liposuction - what is the cause? (photo)

January 3, 2022
Asked By:Amersroyal in Gainesville, Florida

Has anyone experienced what looks and feels a bulge/shelf on the side of their butt after lipo?? This wasn’t there before the procedure. I’ve always been pretty peachy; I had lipo performed on my upper outer thigh region along with a tummy tuck. Now I have this butt bulge that’s really disturbing me! This is not where compression garments or underwear rest of me.
