Hardness and Lumps 2 Months After Tumescent Liposuction

                  It’s
not unusual for patients to experience, lumps, bumps and swelling following
tumescent liposuction.  In most
cases swelling resolves in 3 to 4 weeks following treatment, but in some cases
may persist for 3 to 4 months following this procedure.

                  When
patients develop localized swelling other explanations should be
considered.  In some cases a seroma
may be present.  When bruising is
present a collection of blood known as a hematoma may be responsible.  When these collections are large they
may require drainage, but in most cases can be managed conservatively with
compression and massage.

                  If
your lumps are failing to respond to conservative management, you should
contact your surgeon.  Your surgeon
should be able to evaluate your situation and provide an appropriate course of
action.

You should see your surgeon. They should evaluate your lump with an examination.  A hematoma is a collection of blood and this can solidify over time and resolve eventually. Hematomas tend to have a higher chance of looking darker than seromas which are clear. Seromas may need to be drained multiple times and treated with compression. Hematomas can be drained if they liquify. There are some treatments for these if your doctor agrees.

This will heal over time but may take 6-8 months to fully resolve.  Try using the Vasershape, Vela Shape or Smoothshape to accelerate the resolution. Thank you for your question.
