Lipo, BBL, hard lumps and massages. When can I expect these hard lumps to go away for good?

dolphin1972Jan 30, 2017
I had a lipo and bbl almost 3 months ago. I have been doing the massages & is my #38 massage. I noticed that I still have hard lumps that only goes away after rubbing them real hard during a massages, however the next day they come back. The lady at the massage told me that I don’t need more & I should let my body heals on its own. I am afraid that the hard lumps will remain permanent if I don’t continue with the lymphatic massages. What should I do? Stop or continued?

It is recommended to wait at least 6 months  after giving birth , to have any cosmetic surgery. Scar tissue of C- section should not be a problem after that .  You didin't post any pictures , but after 4 babies , it might be a good idea to consider a tummy tuck with your BBL .Best regards
