I have a lump at the bottom of my stomach after Lipo. Any suggestions?

I suggest posting photos and getting a formal evaluation.  This may need a revision procedure or non invasive options for improvement.  Best, Dr. emer.

 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! 

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!
