How Effective Are Post-Liposuction Touch-ups?

bodyofamom
I had liposuction 6 months ago and up with a few contour irregularities. They look like mogul-type lumps, not dimply like cellulite. My plastic surgeon said he could do a touch-up with a cannula that resembles a cheese grater, but not remove any more fat. He said this would help smooth the lumps. But he also mentioned that one complication of using this instrument could be damage to the blood supply to the overlying skin. He hasn't seen this personally, but it does worry me. Is this a good procedure to smooth out lumps, and are the risks to the skin worth it?
