Hello, I had liposuction done on my stomach, flanks, and back on December 9. Since post-op day 1, I noticed that One side of my waist was lumpier than the other. Nurse told me it was just swelling. I have been wearing a compression garment. The uneven side has recovered quite a bit. I am still worried though because the lump on my waist is very hard.
