Resolving Post-Lipo Lumps
It is not uncommon to sense a firm feeling in areas treated by liposuction. That area may experience relatively normal dimpling, asymmetry or display palpable lumps that can be felt beneath the skin. Massaging the treated area is an effective way to combat any hardening or lumps. Wearing a compression garment can help, too. The more consistently you wear a compression garment, the more positive the results.
Looking firmer is one of the rewards of liposuction, but feeling firmer could be a sign of hardening scar tissue.
If you have a liposuction or laser lipolysis procedure and notice some hardening areas, contact your physician as soon as possible. If these symptoms don’t improve within six months after liposuction, your doctor may recommend a secondary procedure to alleviate the issue.
