I am six weeks post op and I have hard lumps on my side and stretching around to my abdomen. At six weeks I’m very concerned these will not go away. Is there anything I can do to help the appearance of these?

Answer: Tummy tuck results Dear phoenixja123, I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a tummy tuck and liposuction surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.

Answer: Lumps after liposuction I personally had liposuction and had firm areas for a few months. When we do liposuction, we can’t completely suction out every since damaged fat cell, so cells in our body “eat” those cells and dispose of them, just like it does with a bruise. It can take 6 months for those areas to soften and eventually disappear. Have your surgeon about your concerns on your next visit.
