Hard areas after lipo, help? This Thursday will be 7 weeks post op. (photo)

Asked By:Jeepgirl81 in Zion, Il

I had body jet liposuction on my upper and lower abdomen. I have 2 areas, above and below my belly button that are hard, sensitive to touch and hurt slightly when massaged. My dr said this would occur and would go away with massage but didn’t give me a time frame. Are these hard areas normal? Will they dissipate and go down? I understand lipo results take time though I’m worried
