Is Excessive Bruising Expected from Chin Liposuction?

Being off aspirin or aspirin-like compounds for 2 weeks helps to minimize bruising.  Many like Arnica Monatana, and Bromelain to reduce bruising.   Compression is also important to reduce swelling and bruising.

In most cases, stopping blood thinners 2 weeks before the procedure allows the patient to have near normal recovery.  While everyone can bruise, the recovery is typically no more than one week.  Of course, checking with your medical doctor to make sure you are healthy enough is critical.

Neck liposuction can typically be preformed in the office eliminating the risk of general anesthesia making it even safer.  Good Luck!

I also recommend patients stop taking all blood thinning agents at least 2 weeks before surgery, which can be an issue if you need the medications for a heart condition or clotting disorder.  Then you must coordinate care with your primary doctor or cardiologist and plastic surgeon because safety is the #1 goal.

Bruising after liposuction can definitely occur in some people  - regardless of your preoperative medications and what kind of tumescence is used - but it is short-lived!
