I see hard big lumps on my love handles after having abdomino plasticity and liposuction? (Photos)

Question

I have done abdomino plasticity and liposuction for love handles. I see a big lump on my right side of love handles. I have done surgery 14 days before will my lumps reduce. I am very much worried. My surgeon has asked me to wear the compression garment so I am wearing it all day and night. Will lumps reduce or do I need to take any medicines as I still feel pain and numbness.

hello pemmasani  Most swelling and bruising will heal in the first 2 weeks, but can persist for up to 6-8 weeks. Patients are usually instructed to wear elastic compression garments after the surgery, the period of time will be advised by the doctor. #lumps #lovehandles

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See your physician if you are concerned. Best, Dr. Emer

You look like you just had surgery and have swelling. This area may improve somewhat over time. If not you might need a skin excision along the lateral hip and waist area.

Hello and thank you for your question. It is good that you are wearing the compression garment as advised. It is difficult to comment without examining you but there could be still some swelling which may settle. It may be better to see your surgeon who will be able to advise you after examination.
