Swelling in Feet After 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.

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

It is not uncommon to have gravity affect the swelling in your feet after liposuction. This will resolve quickly. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

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).
The trauma of surgery results in swelling and some hardness of the tissues under the skin and swelling below the area. The garments themselves delay flow in the veins and lymphatic vessels below the garments resulting in swelling. This is common and could be alleviated with periodic loosening of the garment, massaging of the feet / calves towards the groins and either elevation of the legs or lying supine for an hour or so.

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.
The swelling and "hardness" in your back is directly related to the trauma of liposuction procedure and should resolve in time.
The bloating is related to water retention and you should restrict salt intake, drink at least 8 - 8oz. glasses of water per day and move around.
Please call your doctor and explain these symptoms to him/her and perhaps go in for another post-op visit to help with these issues. Most of this is perfectly normal at this time and just requires some patience.

You are really talking about two things that are normal.
The feet do swell as a result of compression garments and retained fluid from surgery- this is normal and resolves over time.  Keep the feet elevated to expedite resolution of swelling.
The hardness is called induration and is really swelling between the cells, and likely some sluggish resolution of lymph fluid. It will become lumpy and bumpy until it finally heals. Compression garments help, and massage (deep tissue/lymphatic drainage) will help. Again, you need to give it more time. The good news is that your size will reduce and the detail will become evident as swelling resolves
