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

pemmasaniMay 27, 2017
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 sss920  liposuction can be done at zones which are disproportionate or undesired (such as “love handles”). The best way get a good idea of what should be done is setting up a consultation with a certified PS.

Unfortunately, you were not a candidate for liposuction alone, you should have had a tummy tuck at the same time, which can be performed with a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF w...

Thanks for your question! Gaining muscle mass should not adversely affect your remaining fat cells, and if done properly, should augment your surgical results. Best of luck to you!
