I had full body Lipo 6 weeks ago and a bbl. I'm noticing small marble size lumps. They are not visibly noticible but I can feel them. What can I do? I get massssges every other day. Is there a special type of masssge I should ask for? Any suggestions on there I can get treatment for them?

Answer: Small lumps after lipo Thank you for the question! It is rather difficult to fully evaluate your situation without an in-person exam. That being said, small lumps and other contour irregularities are not uncommon after liposuction. Typically, it takes 2-3 weeks for most bruising and postoperative discomfort to resolve, and additional 2-3 months for swelling to completely subside. Although some physicians recommend massaging these lumpy areas, their effectiveness can be disputed. I'd suggest that you give it time and let healing process complete naturally. If your swelling persists months after the procedure or you begin to experience increasing discomfort, you should notify your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Lumps after liposuction Hi and thank you for your question.The small lumps that you can feel may be areas of fat necrosis. The blood supply to your remaining fat cells can get disrupted during liposuction (especially high volume) and you can get small lumps that you can feel. These areas typically remodel after a few months of consistent massage. As well, I am assuming that you are in a garment for all the areas liposuctioned (including your BBL)? Compression therapy is important and I use compression for as long as I still see swelling, which is typically about 6 weeks but can be longer.Hope this helps!
