I had liposuction on my flanks and stomach 6 weeks ago. I have a hard swollen lump on top of my pubic bone area. This area was NOT treated. What is this from? Will it go away? Thanks
Answer: Post-Liposuction After Care -- Compression, Lymphatic Massage, Hyperbaric Oxygen, Radiofrequency (Venus Legacy, Exilis, Forma) Unfortunately, without the benefit of photographs or a formal evaluation, it's difficult to say. Swelling post-lipo can persist for months, so it's important to be on the right after care protocols. In addition to compression, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and radiofrequency treatments, lymphatic massage is highly effective in the prevention of fluid buildup, scar tissue, inflammation, and infections. Lymphatic massage also decreases the chance of irregularities, lumps or bumps; accelerates healing and minimizes downtime; and, following a liposculpture procedure, can help further contour the abdominals. I recommend that my liposculpture patients receive lymphatic massage treatments every day for a week following their procedure; twice per week for the following month; and then once per week until healing is complete.I recommend following up with your physician (or with a hi-definition physique expert) about best after care practices. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: I have a hard swollen lump on top of my pubic bone area after lipo. This area wasn't treated. What is this? Will it go away? Hello, thanks for your question and provided information as well.. You're very early on healing process, you need to wait at least 6 to 8 months to judge final results, besides that with the garment on, your pubic area may be swollen for almost 2 months, it is normal. Besides that, without any pictures it is difficult to exam your concern. If you have any discomfort, go to your Board certified plastic surgeon for a check up, and lymphatic drainage massages can help very well. Good luck!

Answer: Hard pubic lump we were not present during your procedure so none of us can give you an accurate assessment. I suggest following up with your provider to get an accurate assessment and answer to your question. In general plastic surgeons often blend areas treated into adjacent areas in order to give smooth contours without irregularities. So while your mons pubis May not have been formally treated it's possible the cannula went into this area appropriately while treating your lower abdomen. Gravity has a tendency to pull fluid down this can include blood that needs to dissolve overtime. It's common in this area becomes firm after lower abdominal liposuction. But six weeks this will typically resolve it completely. Best, Mats Hagstrom M.D.
