After 1 week I noticed uneveness, lumps and even rolls on my stomach. The Dr told me its because of my garment. I changed the garment and went for 5 lipomassages. I thought with time that it would smoothen out. The lumps can be seen even with clothes and I feel worse now then I did before the surgery. What can I do at this point? Is 3 months too soon to tell? I dont think this was a garment issues I believe my dr removed to much fat and was done unevenly. What do you think? Please help!

Answer: Unevenness and lumps In your case, that is the result of you being a Tummy Tuck patient since the very beginning and having a liposuction instead, and the rolls of skin, are, exactly that, rolls of saggy skin. You have to wait about 9-12 months to reevaluate and probably finally make the decision of having a TUMMY Tuck. Over the months your skin will be less hard, and will be looser.Another liposuction will only make your abdomen worst. Another helpful recommendation: do not put on weight, the appearance of your abdomen will be worst, more uneven and lumpy. Dr. Cardenas

Answer: Uneven results at 3 months You will need to be seen in person to make an accurate determination but it does appear that a revision will be in order in your case. I would defer revision until the treated areas have soften which may take up to one year. Great success can be obtained in liposuction revisions with various newly designed cannulas and micro lipografting. Best of luck and continue the massage treatment per the direction of your treating surgeon.
