I actually have 6-7 lumps total :(
I have 4-5? lumps on my left breast. One is larger than the rest. They are on my outer breasts near my armpit. I have 2 lumps on my right breast. One on my upper pole and one small one on the side. I’ve been advised to massage them with castor oil (reached out to the Dr’s office). I feel like 4-5 lumps on my left breast is a really high amount and I’m kind of worried about it. I’m not sure what could have caused them, as i was super gentle and treated the girls like glass. I guess those fat cells just didn’t survive. But I don’t know if they will go away on their own…
My belly is looking a bit smoother however. I think it looks slightly better than my month 3 photos.

A couple lumps on both breasts
I’ve got a few lumps (~2) on both my left and right breasts. They’re firm and about 1-inch in diameter. I’m a little worried about them. I’ll start massaging them. I hope they go away in the next few months.
3 month update
Hey guys, I am writing an update for my three month check in after surgery so I have a couple things to talk about what I’m happy about. I’m not so let’s get to it.
TLDR;
1. Happy about body shape (waist!!), lower belly, retention, breast size, belly button
2. Unhappy about right hip dip, unevenness on the stomach
The stuff I’m really happy about-the shape of my body. I’m really really happy that I am now not this weird like just apple-fridge shaped body. I have a very clear, beautiful hourglass and I have a waist and honestly it’s pretty snatched. I feel like Dr. Bednar took as much fat as he could out of my midsection and it’s made me just look so curvy and feminine and Voluptuous like I’m really really pleased about my shape.
Another thing I’m happy about is my lower belly. I don’t have a pooch there anymore and it’s also quite smooth. My lower belly doesn’t really have any lumps or bumps from Lipo and it looks really good. I love the way my belly button looks as well. It’s like a really cute slit. It doesn’t look like a weird surgery belly button or unnatural or anything like that. Additionally my breasts I think they look fantastic. I think I retained a good amount. I’m currently measuring about like a 31DD (before I was a B cup) though I have unintentionally lost a little bit of weight so that could be a factor as well but overall in terms of retention, I think I retained a good amount. I feel like my breasts now don’t have any lumps. I think I mentioned I might’ve had 2 earlier, but I actually don’t think I have any lumps anymore. My breasts look perky, they look round. They’re both the same size now if you guys remember, my left breast was a little bit larger than my right at some point, but they have evened out now.
Now let’s talk about some things I’m not happy about. One of them being is that my stomach is still kind of weird like even though my lower belly doesn’t have lumps and bumps my midsection like the waist area does. I think a lot of the swelling has gone down, but my belly just doesn’t look like a natural belly. It looks like it’s definitely had some surgery done on it . I guess I’ll just wait to see after a year how this heals maybe it’s too premature to make any judgments right now, but I don’t know how to describe it to you guys like it just doesn’t look like a normal belly. The skin looks kind of looser. I think we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. I’m also kind of unhappy about my hip dips. I had my hip dips filled, and Dr. Bednar filled them differently so I think my left side had a little bit more fat injected than my right because my glutes were unevenly shaped. My left glute is a little bit smaller than my right glute. I think all the fat in my right hip dip is dead. It didn’t survive, but I recall at the beginning of surgery that they felt kind of like unevenly filled anyways like I felt like I had more of a hip on my left side and less of a hip on my right side. I thought it would settle after three months but now I can see clearly that I have a right hip dip, but I don’t have a left hip dip so it just looks kind of uneven and weird. You have to look really hard to notice it but I notice it. But for all the money that was paid I just don’t know. I wish that my hip dips could’ve been filled evenly in all the fat would’ve been retained on the first time. My left hip dip is completely filled and it looks great, but my rate is just empty and it just makes my body look uneven.
I’ve stopped wearing my garments. I actually stopped a while ago on the two month mark. I just couldn’t handle being in my garment anymore. Please stay in your garment cause when you get out you’re just gonna wanna stay out of it like I did, but honestly, I don’t really know if getting out of my garment had any negative impact on me. I don’t really think it makes much of a difference honestly , I think the garments are there to help prevent swelling, but I don’t really have much swelling. I guess after the two month mark so I think I just was completely fine without it.
Right now if you were to ask me whether or not this surgery was worth it, I would definitely say that it is worth it. However, I would’ve expected at least my right hip dip to be filled like my left was, and my stomach to be a bit smoother.
