Is bruising like this normal after BBL? I am 8 days post op today (pictures taken today). The pictures are of the left/right hip areas and the pelvic area. My main concern is of the bigger, darker bruise.
Answer: Bruising after BBL. Is this normal? Thank you for your question. It is normal to have bruises. After liposuction and BBL there is a process of swelling and bruising that peaks at 3 days after surgery and then undergoes the first stage of major resolution in the first 2 weeks after surgery. The later phase of healing takes place over the 2-3 months after surgery where everything really settles and softens. It is after this time that we are getting close to the final result, though this varies patient to patient.

Answer: Bruising after BBL After BBL it's very normal to experience bruising and swelling for two weeks following the procedure. The pictures you are showing are pretty much what I would expect 8 days after surgery.

Answer: Bruising after BBL. Is this normal? (Photo) The discoloration, a result of bruising and pigmentation changes, will usually resolve over about a year but there is some variability in healing and resolution of bruising. No reason for concern at 8 days post-op.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Bruising very normal after BBL Bruising can be very severe after BBL. Liposuction can cause trauma to tiny blood vessels and result in bruises, swelling that will last for several weeks postop. Hope this helps! Sam Jejurikar, MD
