What Are the Healing Phases of Smartlipo, Can Someone Explain Please?

Thinkingaboutit247
Dear doctors, In regards to smartlipo in abs and flanks I see very similar concerns: swelling, bloating, lump, hardness, 1st week results are good but later get worse, many claim to have bigger "bellies" right after the smartlipo. So I wonder, can you please xplain the PHASES of healing after smartlipo? Issues are mentioned randomly so its tough to make sense of it all. What causes lumps in the 1st place, why bloating gets worse, chronological order of causes I guess could help lots. Thanks!
