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

Question

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?

Usually the lumps at the harvest sites settle with time as the swelling goes down. If you have lumps were the fat was injected, this could represent fat necrosis and agains if they are small, may soften and go way with time. Best to see your surgeon for evaluation.

Thank you for your question.You have to give your body at least 12 weeks to start seeing results and final results can take 3-6 months depending the way your body heals. Please follow up with your surgeon.Best of Luck!!
