Answer: Tight and sore 2 months after liposuction Hello, thank you for your question and providing pictures! Don´t worry, everybody heals at his own rate, it depends also on the procedure and amount of liposuction, 2 months is still early, the swelling, tight feeling and tenderness can last for 6 months, of course each time you will be feeling better, be patient and be sure to follow all you postoperative care instructions. Keep communication with your plastic surgeon. Wish you the best

Answer: Swelling after liposuction Thank you for the question. After liposuction it can be expected to feel tightness and have some residual swelling that can last up to 6 months. At times there are areas that can feel harder and slightly tender; massaging the area can help. From the images, It appears that you have some residual swelling but are on the right track. If you are concerned you should follow-up with your board-certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

Answer: Tightness and soreness two months after liposuction Your photos still demonstrate some swelling of the arms, which is entirely normal two months after liposuction. It generally takes at least 6 months for all of the swelling to disappear. If the pain and soreness is debilitating, lymphatic massage can be a useful adjunct to help the swelling go away faster.Hope this helps! Sam Jejurikar, MD
