I think thats normal with the local anasthesia in tumescent lipo....I am 10 days post op and the area below and on the side of the chest does feel hard also and the whoel thing is still numb.

I think it should go away by the 3 wk mark, hopefully

It could be normal swelling, or if it's getting bigger and harder, then it may be fluid collecting in there.  If that's the case, then the PS can pull it out with a needle.  It's pretty fast and doesn't hurt much.  I had it done a week and a half after my 1st surgery.

so this is normal
how about the chest it will take another shape after 5 months 4 example ?

Probably so.  Swelling can distort your chest in such a way that it's hard to form an opinion on your final results until around 4 months post op.  Everybody is different with different circumstances, though.  Some people say they didn't have much swelling, while many say they had swelling for up to 4 or 5 months.  Mine was mostly gone by around 3 months.

well behind that i feel it is hard i feel as if there is concavities while the doctor said the final result will be from 5 to 6 months
