I Had Vaser Lipo and Fat Transfer to the Butt - Lumps Won't Dissolve

I have to agree.....
First of all, seven weeks is very early. Normally patients after this operation have swelling for about 2-3 months, often with the feeling of firmness or lumps for even longer....... and that's without an infection. The infection will likely prolong the healing course. But if what you are feeling is lumps from the swelling and inflammation, it will all go away. The only thing that would possibly persist, is if you have areas of "fat necrosis" ie:areas of fat that died.  But give it time and follow your surgeons recommendations.  What he is recommending is the right thing to do.

I'm sorry you're having a difficult postoperative course.  Having a serious infection after surgery, such as your cellulitis and abscess, means the healing process takes on a whole new course.  That firmness you feel is related to you recent infection and, your surgeon is right, it will take much longer to resolve than the rest of your treatment areas.  It may take months to fully soften.  Make sure you've seen your surgeon to be certain nothing else is going on--if it is just firmness related to recent infection, then time, massage, and heat should help.  Good luck!
