How Long Will I Swell when I Get Lipo on my Back?
Swelling may last for 3-4 months before you see the final result. Practically speaking, however, most swelling in the back area following liposuction is gone in 6 weeks or so. Swelling is related to how much fat must be removed and your excess fat seems to be mild to moderate, so you should see a significant improvement within 3 to 4 weeks. Liposuctions in the abdomen area may take longer to subside. Be sure to wear the pressure garmet suggested by your plastic surgeon, and do not...

Swelling after Back Liposuction
You will likely swell for 10-14 days (at least) after liposuction in this area. It looks like you're a great candidate because it seems you have stubborn fat pockets but not a need for dramatic weight loss. By wearing your prescribed pressure garment, you can help reduce swelling time and appearance.

Back Liposuction
After any liposuction, you should expect to have swelling for several weeks. While most of the swelling will go away during this time, you will continue to see positive changes in your contour for several months.
Good Luck.

Liposuction on the back?
Liposuction on the back can take a bit longer than other parts of the body for all the swelling to go away. Good candidates for liposuction there, typically have nice results. Talk to your PS about this - Dr. Aldo.

Swelling Resolution Following Liposuction
Whether you want liposuction of your back is entirely up to you; it is an elective procedure, not a necessary one. The picture you provided does not show excessive lipodystrophy, but I assume you are referring to the posterior iliac crest region as it appears there is some mild fullness there. If you are bothered by fat deposits that have not improved with diet and exercise, then these areas can be effectively treated with liposuction. A post-operative compression garment will...

Swelling after liposuction
Liposuction works by creating tunnels in fat. The tunnels collapse over time, and it is this collapse that provides contour improvement. Swelling from surgery lasts from 7-14 days; full collapse of tunnels with contouring can take as long as 8 weeks. Wear your compressive garments until you can poke yourself where you were treated without causing discomfort.

Swelling after Liposuction?
Thank you for the question and picture. Liposuction is never considered a “necessary” procedure. If you are bothered by diet and exercise resistant adipose tissue in the area, you may be a good candidate, depending on your physical examination. You can expect swelling to persist for 2 to 3 months after surgery and for skin to continue to redrape for even a longer period of time.
I hope this helps.

Back Liposuction
If you apply ice after surgery, and wear a good compression garment, you should have only minor swelling after surgery. Be sure to follow your surgeons post operative instructions.
