I have hard spots down my side where they did Liposuction after my Tummy Tuck. Will this ever go away and what caused it? I am 6 weeks post op and when I take photos, it looks like a ripple down my sides. My PS just said it takes time.. no real answer.
Answer: Hard Spots and Rippling After Liposuction Hard spots and rippling are potential side effects of liposuction. Hard spots can occur due to the formation of scar tissue or residual fat that has not been evenly distributed. Rippling is when the skin appears uneven or wavy, which can happen if the underlying fat is unevenly removed.It’s important to consult with your surgeon if you experience these issues after liposuction. They may recommend massages, compression garments, or other treatments to help with these concerns. Additionally, time and proper healing can often improve these issues. Remember that the final results of liposuction may take several months to become apparent as your body heals.

Answer: Liposuction and rippling
Firmness after liposuction can develop and some rippling may develop as well. Sometimes deep massage helps smooth out the firm areas. Give it some time, it may take 4-6 months for things to soften.
