How long does bruising and swelling last after calf/ankle liposuction? (Photo)

Asked By:lookingforhope18 in Atlanta, GA

I got my lower legs, ankle and calf, lipo on May 24. I was almost a full week post op and the amount of swelling I am having is out of control. My ankles are so huge that it is difficult to walk and my compression garment makes my feet swell up as well. The bruising is the worst part. My entire backside of right leg is completely black and only gets worse as the days go on. All my medication I was giving has run out so I am no longer taking anything. I am not giving up but am so frustrated.
