What are these hard lumps next to my bellybutton after Lipo?

October 11, 2015
Asked By:ariel020106 in Phoenix, AZ

I had lipo 9 days ago and I have two hard lumps by my belly button. They have been there since day one. I have been massaging them daily and they have not changed in size. Are they just lipo irregularities or should I be worried about seroma? They are not painful. At what point should I have them evaluated by a dr?
