Why do I still have bruises and lumps from SculpSure procedure over 4 months ago? Should I be concerned?

Question

I had SculpSure done on my thighs in October and I got some bruises but they have not gone away. I also have some lumps which I know is normal after the procedure but these lumps come and go and sometimes are more visible than other times. I have massaged them but they randomly appear again but smaller. Should I be concerned? How can I make the bruises go away?

Deborah Wilson, MD · Answer

The lumps are collections of fat that should resolve over time- in fact in my experience they always do. It takes the body some time to break down the long chain fatty acids that are released from the ruptured fat cells. 
I honestly cannot explain the bruising. All bruising should resolve with time, however. 
The only idea I can come up with is that the massaging you are doing to get rid of the lumps may be causing some bruising if you are a person who bruises easily anyway.
