I am 4 weeks post hi-def Vaser Lipo on abs. 2 weeks ago I started getting hard lumps. Is this normal? (Photo)

Thanks for your question and photo.  At 2 weeks post-procedure, you are about at the point of maximal swelling.  All of the hard, lumpy areas are places where there is more inflammation and swelling.  Massage should help, but will not magically make this go away - the only thing that does that is time.  The swelling should slowly go down over the next several weeks to months.  The hard areas should soften, but will likely feel firm and "rubbery" for up to 4 months.  Trace amounts of swelling can last up to a year in some people.  If there are places that are markedly more painful than others, especially if the pain is increasing, then it could be a localized pocket of fluid, called a seroma, which may require drainage.  If that is the case, be sure to bring that to the attention of your surgeon.  Seromas are a common minor complication of any liposuction procedure and usually do not pose a real threat, just a minor nuisance.  It looks to me like your doctor did a good job and you should have a really nice result, once all the swelling goes and the skin starts to tighten down (4-6 months for that).

Thank you for your question and photo. Yes, as the others said, you are early in your recovery and your final result is 4-6 months from surgery. I can tell you, based on this one frontal view photo, that your sculpting is not based on your underlying muscle anatomy. Your surgeon did create grooves with superficial liposuction, but not in the right places. Your semilunar lines are not defined, your mid-abdomen looks like a small crater, the epigastric depression is a triangle. You did not seem to have liposculpting of the upper abdomen and anterior/lateral rib cage.You need to allow for your tissues to heal and soften up, but I'm fairly certain that you will need another surgery using the VASER Hi Def Lipo technique to give you an athletic more youthful abdomen. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck with your healing.

This is a normal occurrence which  will correct over time. You where right to employ lymphatic massage this helps greatly. Keep it up. Warm soaks or bathes while massaging the areas helps as blood and old fluid has accumulated under the skin from the trauma of the procedure. You will come out fine over time. Make sure to do your follow ups as told. Hope this is helpful to you. JB
