2 Weeks Post Op

I have been able to resume all normal activities now and the only restriction is the compression garment which I still have to wear in the daytimes only for 4 more weeks, though they recommended the more I keep it on, the better my end result.

However a new issue has arisen which is now that all the swelling has gone, there are irregular lumps and bumps all over my abdomen which look quite unnatural and a bit freakish. I have been massaging the area daily for 15-20 minutes with an aromatherapy massage oil, which I am told is supposed to help this. I have however been reading on liposuction forums many people's experiences of these lumps never going away. Most doctors say these will disappear over time, usually completely gone in 3-6 months so I am praying that is the case with me. Several patients on the forums also said that they were initially lumpy but the lumps completely disappeared. I guess it depends on your individual tendency to scarring. Trying not to panic as it has only been 2 weeks but I don't want to have to be resigned to never wearing anything again which shows my stomach, otherwise what was the point of having the procedure done in the first place? The lumps do feel very hard though, like scar tissue has formed under the skin. I have read on the forums that bumpiness is usually a result of traditional liposuction and that this is not the case with laser lipo, but patient experiences with the procedure disagree with this theory.

Only time will tell, so I will keep posting updates.
