No Real "Swelling" or Bruising 3 Days Post Op from Ultrasonic Lipo? (photo)
I had ultrasonic Lipo on tummy & flanks this past Tuesday. Surgery went very well per my PS. I was just curious... I've got the discomfort for sure along with itching but when I remove compression suit to shower I don't see much swelling at all and only a spot or two that looks like it wants to bruise. I have some loose skin but sure it will supside. Not complaining but I read so much & was prepared for major swelling & bruising! Sitting upright still slightly uncomfortable-ish. This all normal?

What is normal after liposuction?
After liposuction the swelling and bruising varies greatly from person to person. If a patient cooperates and avoids aspirin, Advil, etc the bruising is less. If a patient cooperates and ingests very minimum sodium, the swelling is less. Initially limiting activity helps because the wound at rest heals best. Following your surgeon's instructions helps. Your surgeons technique mut have been very gentle and that is great. Ultrasonic liposuction...Vaser...

Minimal Swelling or Bruising Following Liposuction
Liposuction swelling and bruising varies individual to individual. I have some patients who get 5 liters of liposuction and have dramatic improvement with little bruising or swelling from day 1. This will just lead to a better result. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Some swell more than others
SOme peopel swell more than others, it is really multifactorial including how extensive the suctioning was, your genetics, etc.. I like compression garments for this reason as well. Good luck.
