I had Liposuction 2 weeks ago and had 2.5 liters of fat removed from my knees, thighs, stomach and back and am experiencing severe bloating.I wanted to know if swelling is normal on the feet? The swelling on my back is as hard as a rock.
Answer: Lower extremity (legs, calves, ankles) swelling following liposuction Swelling of the legs and ankles is quite common following extensive liposuction to the thighs and can be aggravated by the compression garments. Unilateral (swelling and/or pain) can be a sign of a mores serious condition such as a blood clot and should be evaluated emergently. Otherwise, gentle ambulation, toes to thighs compression wear, and time will resolve the swelling.

CONTACT NOW Answer: See Your Surgeon for Persistent Swelling of Feet after Liposuction Much of what you describe is expected during the recovery process 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 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.Regarding the swelling of your feet - see your surgeon about this to see if it is from a too tight garment, expected, or potentially from other causes like a venous clot in your legs that needs treatment

Answer: Foot Swelling After Thigh and Knee Liposuction Liposuction is an extensive sterile traumatic event. You are stabbed tens to hundreds of times with a sterile steel tube which vacuums fat from under the skin. To compress these tunnels and promote scar adherence of the skin to the underlying muscle frame we commonly use compression garments (medicalese for girdles).

Answer: Swelling after Liposuction The swelling in your feet is most likely related to the compression garments that may be constricting your ankles. Best to make sure it is not too tight in this area or get another garment that goes to your toes.
