I have a bulge at the bottom of my stomach and I'm 6 weeks post op. I thought it was swelling then I thought it was seroma however when I researched what seroma was they say that it would have a water look effect. My stomach is just really hard at the bottom and it looks like it's fat but it's not it's hard. I wanna know what I can do and if I should be concerned
Answer: Post Liposuction Irregularities, Swelling -- Try Massage, Velashape or Venus Legacy With Your Compression I suggest posting photos and getting a formal evaluation. This may need a revision procedure or non invasive options for improvement. Best, Dr. emer.

Answer: Bulge after tummy tuck Swelling just above the incision line can persist for months after Tummy tuck. It is something I warn all of my patients about. Some people are lucky and it is minimal, but some people have very noticeable swelling for up to 6 to 9 months. As long as you check in with your doctor to rule out any complications, the best you can do is wear spanx or a garment to keep the swelling under control until it goes away on its own. It is appropriate to discuss your concerns with your doctor, however, since additional liposuction or further tightening in the office can sometimes help if the fullness persists beyond 9-12 months. Good luck with the rest of your recovery!

Answer: I have a lump at the bottom of my stomach after Lipo. Any suggestions? Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well.. Remember to perform your drainage lymphatic massages to prevent lumps and bumps after lipo. This is the surgical procedure that revolutionized cosmetic surgery becoming one of the most performed cosmetic procedures. Subcutaneous tissue or fat is removed in order to contour the body in a way that is harmonious and pleasing to the senses. It can be performed in almost all regions of the body such as the neck, chin, abdomen, back, buttocks, thighs, arms and ankles. Usually done through a small incision in the skin through which a cannula connected to a vacuum is applied, it can be performed alone or in combination with other procedures. After liposuction your body is going to be really swollen for at least 2 to 4 months after your surgery. It is important for you to wear your compression garment for at least 6 months, the first 3 months 24/7 and then the last 3 months at least 12 hours per day for your body get use to not having the faja for so many time. When you remove it, your body can get swollen and also you can have pain. Remember to also compress your body to prevent a seroma which is an accumulation of liquid that has to be drained, it is hard to touch and also really painful. Bruises are completely normal for almost 3 months from surgery, that’s why is better for you to use a bruising cream and apply it all over your body 3 times a day. To prevent bad circulation and swollen legs, use compression socks. Brazilian butt lift can be performed with the same procedure and for a month it will be swollen and it will drop a little bit without losing it’s shape if you use your garment.. If you’re going to perform liposuction on your inner, outer, anterior, lateral, postetior thighs, be careful and consult with your surgeon what’s best for you, sometimes we have more extra skin than fat, that can cause severe sagginess on our legs, which can be only be reversed performing a thigh lift. Hugs!
