Lumpy, Uneven, Hard Stomach After Liposuction? (photo)

C
Chinita20Jun 6, 2012

It has been 2 weeks and my stomach is getting worse as the time passes. I asked my ps but he says they will go away with time. I am afraid that this is not happening as they are getting worse. I never wore a garment because my ps did not recommended. Is this normal? My stomach was so beautiful the first week and the second week its just so disgusting :(, I know it takes time but I haven't seen any positive results from people who did have lumpiness and uneven after liposuction.

Liposuction incisions are typically placed in the groin crease for the inside of the thighs (medial thighs), in the bikini line for the lateral thighs, or at the gluteal, buttock, crease. Typically I only use a needle opening of the skin that does not require suturing for fat transfer for...
