Why Does My Vagina Look Like An Eggplant?
Liposuction, while it doesn't break large vessels, very often injures capillaries. Also, because the mons pubis and external labia of the vagina are dependent, and since all the post liposuction girdles are open in this area, therefore exerting no pressure, for all of these reasons, the genital area tends to get significantly bruised and swollen after abdominal liposuction.

Liposuction of abdomen
This is very normal and may be frightening when it occurs but nothing to worry about. Should go away within a month! Men get swelling and black and blue of their penis and testicles and women of their labia and mons area.

Vaginal labial bruising after liposuction
It is very common after liposuction to develop brusing in the labia for women and the scrotum for men. I mention this to my patients before the surgery so they're not alarmed should they notice it. It may take three weeks or more to go away, but often less. If there is any unusual symptom of soreness or hardness in the dark area, then see your physician for an evaluation.

Bruising of Vaginal Opening after Liposuction
Most likely what you are seeing is bruising discoloration (ecchymosis in Medicalese) of the labia.
Since that skin is very thin any bruising in the abdominal wall above which makes its way inferiorly shows up as a bluish discoloration. If in doubt you should be seen by your surgeon to verify that this is the case.
