Lumpy and Bumpy Stomach

hello star2002  Liposuction patients can see results of their procedures as early as 10-14days after the procedure, but improvements continue 4-6 months afterwards as swellings and irregularities resolve, lumpiness will also decrease with time although massaging can quicken the softening. #lumps #bumps

At two weeks post-op, what you are experiencing is completely normal. Swelling from liposculpture can last for up to six months, with the first couple weeks being the worst. Be patient, follow all your surgeon’s post-operative instructions, and you should start to see results in a few months. If you are concerned about the fit of your garment, I would recommend visiting your surgeon for a follow-up and voicing those concerns. It is highly important that you continue to wear the garment for as long as prescribed, however.

First of all, you are still in the immediate postoperative period and are expected to be swollen with areas of firmness. This is not your final result so be comforted by this message and relax a bit. Massage can help manage firm lumps and bumps following liposuction/liposculpture.
Therapeutic or "lymphatic massage" may be helpful following  a  Liposculpture or Liposuction (Smart Lipo, Vaser, Tickle lipo, or conventional lipo) to minimize swelling. Make sure your surgeon feels that you have healed sufficiently  and it is safe before doing this.  Endermologie is also very helpful after liposculpture/liposuction but again, not critical.  Although deep tissue massage following liposuction can aid in smoothing out  contour irregularities that invariably accompany this procedure it has limited effect on the final outcome and  is NOT mandatory. Some plastic surgeons recommend it to all  patients as they feel the edema resolves faster.  Ask your surgeon to show you or a significant other how to do this if cost is an issue. Typically they will have you massage toward areas of maximum lymphatic drainage ( for example groin or armpits) A low sodium diet may also be helpful early on.
