I had sculpsure done on right inner thigh about 2 1/2 weeks ago with no lumps. Then yesterday almost instananeously a I noticed a big kinda firm lump in that area which is kinda tender. I had sculpsure done before couple of times in the same area no swelling or lumps. Why do I have one this time and so late after the procedure and appearing almost instananeously? It looks horrible and so noticeable I hope it's not fat cell hyperplasia? Because as I said I had it done before same area no lumps.
Answer: Lumps after sculpsure Lumps ( from fat death or fat necrosis )after sculpsure are not uncommon . Every case is different and if you were to be advised to spend 10-15 min a day of massaging the treated areas perhaps this could have been avoided. It also depends if you had some previous surgeries, C section, abdominal surgeries, plastic intervention in the treated area ( in these cases this could be a result of residual fibrotic tissue). In any case deep massage, warm compresses are the only options you have. I would call my MD and ask to evaluate and decided on when the next treatment should take place. Time is the main factor. Give it 4-6 months and if still not resolved and do bother you a sonogram could be considered.

Answer: Lumps after SculpSure Lumps can appear after SculpSure treatment in any area even if you have treated the area before. It is fat cells which have died and have inflammatory cells around them to allow them to leave the body. Massage the area, and you may use heat or cold packs to help your lymphatics eliminate the cells. They will go eventually. Good luck!
