Bruising/fluid retention after Airsculpt lipo - how long should it last, what's the best way to speed healing?

May 6, 2017
Asked By:whocares2.0 in Albany, GA

Airsculpt lipo to full abs + inner thighs, I'm only 5 days post-op so fully understand it's very early. But the level of bruising seems outside the norm for what's expected from this procedure-my crit was 39 so not anemic. How do I speed up healing? Many reviews for this type of lipo report instant results before swelling sets in (followed by few weeks of fluctuations), but I've only seen dramatic size increase and can still see substantial fat in the areas treated. How should I interpret this?
