Are lumps normal 2 weeks after abdominal liposuction? (photo)

Question

I received abdominal and flanks liposuction 2 weeks sfo and I’m noticing some lumps on my lower stomach. My stomach also feels very hard. Is this normal and will it go away?

Roberto Gonzalez, MD · Answer

After doing liposuction on any area, residual swelling is present and may fluctuate during the recovery part.  Two weeks out is still on the early stages and it is possible to have what you are describing.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Swelling after surgery can produce lumps and may be normal.  Swelling and healing as well as scar maturation can persist for 6 months and sometimes up to 1 year following liposuction.  Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

erzfdjf.   I appreciate your concern, but it is still early in your postoperative course.   It appears to be normal scar formation underneath the skin and should resolve with time.  At this time I recommend mild massage of the region and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

It is not uncommon to have some lumps in the early recovery period. Often this is related to swelling and will improve with time. Follow with your  doc to be sure to see if they want you to massage or doing anything else. Good luck.
