Are hard lumps in the abdomen and sides common after liposuction should you be massaging them?

Lumps after liposuction

It is common to experience some swelling and lumpiness after liposuction. These lumps are typically caused by fluid accumulation and inflammation in the treated areas. In most cases, these lumps will resolve on their own within a few weeks to months.

Massaging after liposuction

Massaging the treated areas after liposuction can help to reduce swelling and lumpiness. It can also help to improve circulation and promote healing. However, it is important to be gentle when massaging these areas, as too much pressure can damage the underlying tissues.

Talk to your doctor

If you are concerned about the lumps after liposuction, it is important to talk to your doctor. They can assess the situation and give you advice on how to care for the treated areas.

Here are some additional tips for caring for the treated areas after liposuction:

* Wear a compression garment as directed by your doctor.

* Avoid strenuous activity until your doctor tells you it is safe to do so.

* Get plenty of rest.

* Eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of fluids.

* Avoid smoking and alcohol.
