Hard lumps after Thermitight?

The lumps that you are experiencing are fairly common after ThermiTite and will resolve with gentle massage and time. They are caused by inflammation in the fat compartment that occurs after fat cell necrosis (death).   If the lumps are large, visible or painful,  they resolve more quickly when the lumps are injected with the anti-metabolite 5FU.  Best wishes.

Thermi is an in-between procedure; in-between surgery and non-invasive procedures.  There is a healing period that involves inflammation underneath the skin, especially in the fat compartment. This is what helps produce more collagen production to tighten the overlying skin. There also can be bruises underneath the skin that takes time to resolve.I stress to my patients when seen in consultation that Thermi does involve down time. Some swelling is expected and depending on the amount of energy that is needed for the specific patient, the amount of swelling can be more or less, as well as bruising.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's

The ThermiTight procedure delivers radiofrequency energy to the tissues beneath the skin which is converted into heat. This heat results in several changes at the cellular level including a variable degree of inflammation. The hard lumps and swelling that you are experiencing is a direct result of that inflammation. Please don’t be concerned as these effects will completely resolve in time. In fact, the eventual tightening of the skin after this procedure is initiated by that inflammatory response. Rest easy and enjoy the coming benefits!
