Breast reduction with liposuction has more bruising.

Bruising a Week after Liposuction of Breasts

Bruising after Lipo

Temporary bruising after lipo is certainly a possibility. Some patients don't bruise at all and some patients have bruising. It is impossible to predict how you will respond. However, if you bruise, it is always temporary. Good luck.
