Lumpiness After Lipo: Having small contour irregularities after lipo is very common. Often this will improve with deep tissue massage. Make sure you return to your plastic surgeon so he or she can advise you. Good luck, Gaurav

Likely so : Although it is common to have some lumpiness at 4 weeks out from liposuction surgery, if severe it may not completely go away. If the surgeon smoothed out and feathered the areas during the operation and was not too aggressive the lumpiness should smooth out by ~ 8-12 weeks. It is helpful to wear a garment and some doctors recomend thermage.
