Can swelling come back after it has subsided after liposuction?

Asked By:prasadanwar in Brisbane, AU

Hi everyone, I won’t see my surgeon for another 3 weeks - currently at 25 days post-op. Recovery has gone good so far but the compression garment I purchased online (one supplied from the surgeon wasn’t tight enough) has become too tight to the point where it creates creases and folds in the nipple (was great for swelling when I had the bandages on as they’ve come down a lot) Have switched to under armour vest which fixed the issue - is there a chance that swelling comes back after it’s subsided.
