Extreme bruise after inner and outer thigh liposuction. Is this normal? (Photo)

Thank you for your question.  The bruising is slightly more then would be expected.  Continue to use your garment and make sure your are seen by your Plastic Surgeon for a examination.  Bruising will not affect your final result which will take 6-12 months. Best wishes.

Although your bruising is definitely more than normal and may have in part be made worse with your straining associated with your food poisoning.  it is not out of the question and should not affect your final results. 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 6-9 months to disappear completely. The compression garment helps reduce the swelling, and the longer it is worn, the more quickly the process will proceed. If you are concerned or if it does not improve, speak to your plastic surgeon to get it examined.

you can get bruising with liposuction, water assisted removal may be more gentle especially if the area is super-wet, however, it is extremely variable.  I suggest speaking to your physician if you are concerned.  Best, Dr. Emer.
