Bruised Penis After Abdominal Liposuction
i'm a 39 year old male that just had abdominal liposuction. I had my love handles, abs and lower abdominal section worked on. It has been 2 days after the surgery and the area of the base of my penis and about the lower 25% of my penis and been badly bruised. Should I be alarmed and what kind of treatment should I be using ? - Any helpful information would be deeply appreciated !

Bruising on Penis after Liposuction?

Bruising runs downhill after liposuction
Don't be alarmed, what you have is normal. Bruising from liposuction runs downhill with gravity along the path of least resistance which is along natural tissue planes.

Bruised Penis After Abdominal Liposuction
Bruising of the genitals is common after extensive liposuction of the abdomen. With these areas being dependent and having some of the thinnest skin in the body they will reflect gravitational settling of the bruising from procedures done above them. In itself, such bruising is common and nothing to worry about. It will improve.

Bruising of genitalia after liposuction
Bruising of genitalia is the rule rather than the exception after lower abdominal liposuction. Don't be alarmed. It will be gone in a few weeks. There can be a lot of swelling too. See your surgeon for reassurance.
