I have had 3 Lipo-Ex treatments of the abdomen. The first 2 were without pain.side effects. However, the third I had a different technician and felt the procedure was warmer, and rougher. After the 3rd treatment my abs were a little sore, 3 days after the treatment I have noticed a hard bump/lump that is round in the lower part of my stomach just above my c-section scar, now the area is very tender to the touch and the skin is red and warm....is there cause for alarm? HELP!!
Answer: Lipo-Ex Side Effects- Hard Bump, Red and Tender. (photo)
Appears as a cellulitis in the photo. Seek immediate medical care, like PO antibiotics. If it becomes more swollen, tender you may need a drainage operation. The cause most likely is a break in sterile technique, contaminated creams, wand, both. Or the area being treated was not cleansed correctly. Return to discuss with the doctor or center.

Answer: Radiotherapy for liposuction The issue is whether this is a topical skin reaction or indication of internal fat necrosis. See your treating physician as soon as possible. If you were not treated by a board certified plastic surgeon, then I highly recommend that you see one now for an evaluation.

Answer: Redness and Pain after Lipo Ex
Lipo Ex uses radio frequency to destroy fat. You may be experiencing a reaction & inflammation to the damaged fat cells. However, this may also be a skin infection (cellulitis). You need to contact your treating physician as soon as possible.

Answer: Lipo-ex?
Thank you for the question and picture.
It is difficult to give you good advice without direct physical examination.
However, any area of skin with the signs/symptoms you describe should be evaluated for the presence of infection ( cellulitis). I think you need to be evaluated by a physician ASAP.
Best wishes.
