How to get rid of hard lump by ribcage after lipo? (Photo)

I would go back to your surgeon and be examined. You may have a seroma, a small sack of fluid, which would need to be drained or possibly removed. Or, you may have some residual fat.

Dear alf2022,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

I don’t think anyone can make an accurate assessment based on an online post on real self

potential treatments are based on what the underlying ideology is which at a minimum will require an examination and possibly radiologic evaluation with ultrasound or MRI.
First and foremost I suggest you follow up with your provider who did the liposuction. here she should be able to help evaluate and treat if indicated.

Best,
