I am 1 week post-op from upper arm Liposuction. Up until today, my arms have been soft like jello and felt bruised. Today, I was rubbing my arms and it feels all lumpy under the skin. Whats going on? It still hurts to touch, but what are those lumps? Are these normal, or there's something wrong? Should I call my plastic surgeon?

Answer: Hard lumps after liposuction The lumps you describe are very common and often appear at this stage. They will probably get a little worse before they get better. Try massaging the areas and be patient. They should dissipate over the next 6 months.

Answer: Hard lumps 1 week after liposuction These firm lumps are very common after liposuction. They represent fluid, small areas of blood, and injured, inflamed fat. The fluid will get absorbed by the body and the damaged areas will heal. This takes weeks to months so be patient. Sometime gentle massage of these areas can help but check with your surgeon prior to starting this. Good luck!
