I have developed irregularities on my lower abdomen between week 2-3 post Lipo. My ps said its due to my garment and sitting down at work. I really worried it won't go, the area is still soft, and I'm having lpg 3 X per week, and lymph drainage/ deep tissue massage 1x per week, and massaging the area daily myself. Will this correct itself? I'm not sure what else I can do. I'm still swollen too. Any advice much appreciated. Thank you

Answer: I'm 6 weeks post-op Lipo of abdomen/flanks, back & BBL. Will these irregularities on my lower abdomen go?
The lumpiness, swelling, itching and hardness after a surgery like you had typically persists at least 8 weeks after the surgery then slowly goes away. In my experience, daily massage of the hard areas makes the biggest difference in getting rid of it sooner rather than later. It can easily ...
Thank you for your question and the photos. It might be wise to continue a bit more with massages or talk to your surgeon and see if an additional treatment would help you better. Best of luck
Given that your photos demonstrate striae and stretch marks, it is unlikely that your skin tone will result in a flat abdomen. My concern is that you had a rapid and significant weight gain. Rather than surgery, why not try to get back to that starting point and then reassess?
