Is it normal for other areas to swell up after liposuction?

Your question is a common one, and you are absolutely correct that swelling can be all over the place. When we do liposuction we have to give you a fair amount of fluid through the IV as well as fluid injected with numbing medicine in the areas liposuctioned. This fluid holds lots of salt and it takes months not weeks for all of the salts and fluids to go away. This is one of the reasons we use garments and can suggest lymphatic massage to help clear out the fluids a few weeks quicker. Be patient it will keep getting better, but often people are only at 70% of their result at 3 or 4 months. Don't worry you'll get there; lowering your salt intake in the foods you eat can help some too. Best wishes going forward.

Thank you for your question. Swelling is common after lipo and sometimes gravitate to areas where procedure not done. If it is already 2 months I recommend you to see your PS for evaluation.
