Not unusal and can persist for a few months
The extent to which this can be normal depends on several factors namely the amount of fat removed, the duration of wearing the compression garment, presence of pre-operative cellulite to name a few. I used to have patients wear a garment for only 3 - 4 weeks but because most patients are young, active and any surgical procedure done on an area below the level of the heart can have more protracted swelling. You want your doctor to make sure you don't have an infection...
