What Causes Lumps After Liposuction?

tamaraitsmyname
Im 2 weeks Liposuction post-op and have been trying to get a straight answer about the lumps. I have hard marble sized lumps and one is long--the size of a small finger. What are they? How did they occur? Are they because of a poor job? Will they go away?
