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

Asked By:emac28 in Danbury, CT

This July, I got liposuction in my abdomen and flanks and had the fat transferred to my buttocks. I noticed that I had these small reddish/purplish spots (not sure if they're bruises or not) under the skin where the incisions were made, but didn't think it would be a big deal since I thought they would go away as the scars healed. Now it's October and they are still there. I'm worried that these marks are permanent. Is there anything that can be done about this or does it just take time?
