Lots of Bruising After Thigh Lipo - How Long Does That Last?

How Long until Bruising Disappears after #Liposuction?Bruising and swelling are normal in the suctioned areas and usually increase slightly after the removal of any tape or foam. The bruising will decrease over 3-4 weeks, but may last as long as 6 weeks. The majority of the swelling will be gone within the first 3-4 weeks. However it may take several months to disappear completely. The compression garment helps reduce the swelling, and the longer it is worn, the more quickly the process will proceed.

Maximum swelling is usually within about three to five days after your surgery, and the majority of it along with bruising goes away in two to three weeks. You may feel some firmness, though, for a few months afterward. You can assess your results at three to four months after surgery. 

Thigh liposuction bruising is common and should gradually resolve with time. The purple should begin to fade to yellow over the next week or two, so please be patient.
