Is bruising at tumescent liposuction/fat transfer sites normal 3 months after surgery?

Hello. Great question. I am sorry for your post op difficulties. Images and/or a personal examination are needed to properly address your concerns. Keep following your surgeon's post op instructions.

This is difficult to answer without pictures. These may improve some with time. However, dark marks can be improved with a combination of lasers, Aerolase, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels, and skin care. Sun protection is essential. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I would suggest asking your surgeon to check the areas. You are still early in your healing phase, but please do not tan the areas.

Posting a photo of the area of concern would have been very helpful. That being said, if the area is actually still red, warm to touch, tender or draining, that does cause heightened concern. This could represent an infection. If the area is dark simply due to the trauma to the skin that can commonly occur with liposuction, then this pigmentation could be normal. I recommend you see your surgeon for evaluation and treatment as soon as possible. You would not want an infection to get worse and spread.
Best of luck,
