I had some liposuction to stomach area to use the face in my face 17 days ago. I’m very worried that the center lumps will no go away and will look uneven.

It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello and thank you for posting photos along with your question. It is so soon after your surgery and patience is key. When harvesting fat for facial fat injection it is usually such minimal fat that the harvest site is rarely affected in a way that one can tell something was even done. Express your concerns to your plastic surgeon and follow their post operative instructions to have the best and smoothest recovery.

It is not unusual to have some lumpyness this early in the healing phase. It will take several months to see your final results. If you continue to have concerns , I suggest you see your surgeon. Dr Crabtree

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to 6 months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, these is normal.I recommend my patients to use a full body compression garment, 24/7 for the first 3 months, and after that, for 12 hours a day for 3 more months and to try the lymphatic massages, to get the best results.
If you have any concerns, I suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

Thank you for your question. It is too early to think about outcome. It is common to have lumpiness after liposuction, but usually get better over a period od 3-4 months. Lymphatic massage or venus legacy treatments will help. Please talk to your PS
