Answer: Liposuction Swelling is typical in areas that I had liposuction for several weeks to months after treatment. It is important to use compression and follow your doctors instructions. If you traveled for surgery and need a second opinion then Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and member of the Aesthetic Society using the Smart Beauty Guide. These Plastic Surgeons can guide you on all aspects of facial surgery, breast augmentation and body procedures including tummy tucks or mommy makeovers!

Answer: Hardness after liposuction Liposuction works by creating tunnels through fat which then collapse over time. the inflammation from this procedure can lead to induration, or hardness, for up to a few months after surgery. If the abdominal wall is damaged or if there is insult to the blood supply of remaining tissues then fat necrosis can occur. This presents at hard aft balls that slowly improve over time. Discuss this with your doctor. Exercise and warm compresses may help.
