Hello. I have SmartLipo a month ago and my lumps have grown bigger, harder and more pronounced. My stomach look really bad. I am very concerned... and everytime I call my doctor they tell me this is normal; but they haven't even seen me. I am frustrated with my doctor and the clinic. I spent all my savings on this; and I am not satisfied, I feel like they dont even care... I would like some advice. what kind of massage could help? Is this really normal? thank you. I am desperate.

Answer: Getting rid of SmartLipo lump
It is common to have some lumps after any liposuction procedure. The key is knowing how to manage these lump. Many techniques are available, but you need to be able to see your doctor to give you the best advice. Many patients get frustrated with not being able to see their doctor after the procedure. Think of how many times you saw your doctor before the procedure? The service prior to the procedure should give you a hint of the service after the procedure. In my practice, I personally meet with my patients at least twice prior to the procedure to make sure I understand their needs and desires. I then see them as often as they need. This is usually a few days after surgery and as often as they need to make sure we achieve the best result. We have set intervals for these followup appointments. Good luck!

Answer: Lumps After SmartLipo I can understand your frustration. This does happen often and these types of lumps can take months to go away. My recommendation is while lying on your back, perform deep circular massage with a body oil so your hand can glide easily as you make the circles. Start with light pressure then push harder until it is bearable. Do this multiple times a day. Continue to wear your garment. Lymphatic drainage massage and even ultrasound therapy can help to reduce the lumps.
