3 weeks post op Vaser Lipo, I have lumps and swelling. Is this normal?

October 7, 2014
Asked By:seattle206 in Seattle, WA

Greetings! I had Vaser lipo performed on my upper, middle and lower abs and my flanks exactly 3 weeks ago. My PS said she was able to remove 1 liter of fat which she stated was a lot for someone my size. I had a 27 inch waist before surgery and it was almost 30in post. My swelling has gone down back to my original 27in waist, but I have hard lumps and residual swelling where the fat used to be. I have been massaging them as my PS instructed me to. When will I expect to see my final results?
