Bumps, Begone: 4 Ways To Avoid Post-Liposuction Irregularities 

Swelling and puffiness after liposuction is caused by fluid accumulating in certain areas, which lasts for about six weeks. There are several helpful ways of treating liposuction complications by smoothing and flattening these isolated areas. 

What are Lumps and Bumps Post-Liposuction?

As mentioned, swelling after liposuction is caused by fluid retention and is a normal reaction. The surgical instrument used in liposuction creates a series of tunnels to suction out the fat. It is essential to wear compression garments to prevent the tunnels from filling with fluid.

Although the results may vary from person to person, you can expect a sleeker, smoother, and slimmer body shape after these bump treatments.

How to Avoid Lumps and Bumps After Fat Removal Surgery

1. Wear compression garments: compression garments help reduce the tunnels created by the liposuction tool. In other words, a compression garment helps to reduce swelling and helps the skin to stretch. If this garment is not used, the tunnels formed by liposuction and the area into which the fat was injected fill with fluid, eventually leading to swelling and seroma formation.
2.  Manual skin massage: lymphatic drainage massage is more beneficial than you think. Manual massage using appliances or devices also helps to move fluids away faster. This method of massage reduces swelling caused by scars and bumps.
3. Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) - This procedure uses a special cannula instead of a regular cannula to emit small vibrations that help break down fat cells so that they can be suctioned out with less effort and less damage to the body's tissues, which shortens recovery time.
