How long after lipo does pubic swelling go down?

At about four to six weeks, bruising, swelling, and soreness will not be noticeable anymore. To further reduce the risk of fluid collection, no strenuous activity should be performed for about 6 weeks. Ask the board-certified plastic surgeon which compression garment he/she prefers and the length of time to wear.

Thank you for your question regarding pubic swelling after pubic or FUPA liposuction. Typically swelling takes 6 to 8 weeks to go down after liposuction. The pubic region usually takes longer. In my experience, pubic swelling goes down approximately 10 to 12 weeks after liposuction. Ways to minimize swelling after liposuction include arnica, decompression, brovaline, and lymphatic massage. For the pubic region, I would suggest lymphatic massage for at least 3 to 4 weeks. I would also suggest compression. I would look on the Internet for garments specifically designed for pubic compression after liposuction. There are many such vendors with excellent products. Thank you for your question regarding pubic swelling after liposuction.

The majority of swelling after liposuction resolves after about six weeks, though it can take months for complete resolution. Lymphatic massage is helpful to control swelling and help tissues to heal. Your surgeon can help you to select compression that best addresses the surgical areas.
