Steven Wallach, MD answers: How long before Smart Lipo bruising heals?

I had Smart Lipo done on the saddlebags on my outer thighs last Friday. Not too bad, only that I had leakage on one thigh on that day. Now, I'm bruised below the saddlebag area, and the area still looks the same even if I'm wearing the garment. Does it take time for the bruising to go down? When will it heal completely?

Swelling and bruising after any type of liposuction is normal. This usually settles down in a few weeks, but can vary from patient to patient. Although the majority of swelling will dissipate in the first 3-6 weeks, it may take months for you to see the final result.
