liposuction to my full abdomen and sides 1 month ago, I saw my doctor this week, he told me that 80% of the swelling is gone at this point. I am very sad now since I had such a rough recovery and I am out of $5000. I also have hard lumps all throughout my stomach is this a sign of swelling or is it scar tissue the lumps actually make me look worse than before. I knew that 1-2 lumps was very possible after liposuction but, I didn't expect most of my stomach to contain lumps.
