Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.


Thanks for your query. There are certain complications which can arise after liposuction surgery . The dryness and lump on your lip is result of these complication . The lump you mention in query is normal kind of thing and occur 1-2 week after liposuction due to healing process and disappear after 3-4 weeks as the healing process complete .

The dryness probably occur due to mild allergic reaction due to foam which is applied after surgery to reduce bruising . Take over the counter antihistamine drug like benadryl and kepp lip moist by applying lip balm .

If condition persist then consult doctor or dermatologist for propre examination and rule to the cause like hematoma . Doctor may drain the affected area and prescribe anti inflammatory drugs or may prescribe ointment containing anticoagulant like heparin.

Give cold compresses to affected area several times a day.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
