Liposuction on knees and front thighs - how long can I expect swelling after the procedure?

Swelling resolved at different rates for everyone. With good compression, most of the swelling will likely be gone in 2-3 months, but it will continue to improve for even 5-6 months.

Hello,
It can take anywhere from 3-6 months for swelling to resolve after liposuction. Considering you healed well from your prior liposuction, is a good indicator you will progress the same for other areas. We always recommend lymphatic massages after liposuction to help reduce swelling as well.

Liposuction is such a great procedure that helps almost everyone for those stubborn areas. The very next day you see an improvement but the end results usually take 6 months. If you had good results with minimal swelling on the outer thighs, then the front and inner thighs/knees should be about the same.

Swelling is common and expected after liposuction. The swelling should be resolved after about three months, though the majority is often gone sooner. There are steps you can take to help manage it. First and foremost, follow the instructions of your plastic surgeon. Second, consider using arnica and bromelain. Third, your surgeon may advise lymphatic massage which can be helpful.
