Hello. Great question. Congratulations on your procedure. A personal examination is needed to properly determine what your lumps are. Please schedule a follow up appointment with your surgeon for further evaluation.

Hello. Great question. By 4 weeks, some of the swelling may be gone. However, it can take 3-6 months for all the swelling to go down. Keep following your surgeon's post op instructions.

Hello. Great question. I am sorry for your post operative difficulties. However, your diarrhea and vomiting at 2 weeks post op should not be related to your procedure. I will suggest visiting your surgeon for the leaking of your incisions.

Unless it is a very small amount of liposuction to be done, I prefer to do the surgery under general anesthesia as it is too painful. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.
