Are huge hard lumps normal after 2 weeks from Liposuction?

September 23, 2014
Asked By:cmonster2 in Ross, CA

It was only done on my stomach right around my belly button. Now I have massive hard lumps on each side. Is this normal? Will it go away? Can massaging it make it worse? I wish my doctor would of explained some of the common side effects. He said I would be back at the gym 4 days after. He forgot to mention I would have two golf balls in my belly.
