6 Months Post-op Liposuction - Huge Lump on Hip and Flabby Belly. Is This Normal?

By six months, your daughter should have realized her final result. "lumps" may be do to persistent fat, swelling, or even a fluid collection. Her physician can determine this. If she has loose skin, this may not be improved with liposuction ( depending on the quality of it) and may need further treatment. Regardless, she should communicate these concerns with her physician. If she is uncomfortable with this, she can always seek another opinion.

At 6 months, you should be pretty close to the end result. Your plastic surgeon may want to look at the left hip to make sure a fluid collection (seroma) is not present. If the lump is just due to some extra fat, a touch-up liposuction may improve it. The loose abdominal skin may be hard to treat without surgery but waiting another 6 months won't hurt.
