Question

16 days after liposuction

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Lumps are common even 6 weeks after lipo.  Massage may help, but time will be the best healer.  You may not see your long term results for at least 6 months.  At this point in time, you look great!Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Los Angeles, CA

Maria M. LoTempio, MD, FACS · Answer

Liposuction takes about three months to heal. The first six weeks there is a lot of swelling and healing. Give yourself more time and contact your surgeon for a follow up visit. He or she should put your mind at ease. Best of luck!

R. Stewart Collins, MD · Answer

Wow, you look great so far! It is normal to experience what you're calling "lumpiness", or swelling, and bruising after Liposuction. Your surgeon will be able to advise you as per your specific concerns so reach out to their office directly to update them. Best Wishes!
