I have lumpy, wavy, dimpled skin after liposuction. Surgeons technique or normal?

If you find a very experienced surgeon, the flap created from liposuction will be uniform.  There should not be contour issues even in thinner patients.   I will say that sometimes healing is not perfect, and some results are clearly not technique related.Liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent. Find a board certified plastic
surgeon who performs hundreds of liposuction and liposuction revision
procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before
and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the
results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Hi, thank you for your question. Liposuction results should be smooth and natural. Waviness could be a sign of skin excess (the skin did not contract enough to compensate for the fat that was removed with liposuction). Dents could be a sign of uneven technique or other problems. Lumps can be a normal part of the healing process that goes away on their own. Waviness can often be avoided by careful patient selection and technique. When present, additional procedures like radio frequency energy or abdominoplasty can usually solve the problem. Dents can usually be corrected with fat grafting. Lumps that persist can often be improved with massage.

I think it may be that enough time has not elap[sed.You can have soem lumpiness and uneveness several months post lipo so I would give it soem time,heat and massage.
