I had sculpsure on the abdomen 16 weeks ago, there is still a "fat lump" as big as my thumb under the skin on my stomach. Is this normal and will this dissolve? Is there any risk of blood clots?
Answer: Are Lumps Permanent After SculpSure? This is a common question. No risk of blood clots.Q: Is it normal to have nodules at 7 weeks post SculpSure? Also, still have bruises where applicators were placed.A: What to Do About Nodules at 7 Weeks and Bruising.In the FDA studies, 23 % of patients had nodules after treatment. Average duration was 70 days, minimum 35, maximum 139 days. Bruising was 6%, average duration12 days, maximum 18 days. So you are within the reported range for nodules, but longer for bruising.Symptomatic treatment could include massage for the nodules, and perhaps arnica montana for the bruising. We usually prescribe Bruiseguard for more rapid resolution; it contains bromelain and sublingual arnica, seems to work quite well. I don't think a vegan diet would have any effect. Time alone should take care of the nodules. I would discuss with my doctor, as some change in the settings for the next treatment, perhaps lower, might be considered.

Answer: Lumps after sculpsure This is common in areas of large fatty deposits- they do go away and we suggest increasing fluid intake, massaging the area and we also offer lymphatic massage to the area to further help minimize the lumps.

Answer: Sculpsure Facts about Lumps--Add Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra versus Coolsculpting/Vanquish All non invasive technologies can form lumps of swelling that will go down within 3-4 months. Massaging the area daily may help dissolve the lumps. Keep in mind, a combination of treatments is needed for best results with treatments like Sculpsure. I recommend combining Sculpsure or Coolsculpting with Vanquish and Venus Legacy/Exilis Ultra treatments. A VASER hi definition procedure would give you the best results for body shaping and contour. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Lumps after SculpSure This is totally normal, some patients experience what we call nodules. They are not permanent and will go away in time, to help speed along the process, you can massage them.
