Is It Normal to Have Extreme Swelling of Pubic Mound After Liposuction of the Lower Abdomen?

Immobility, and perhaps the seat belt, as well as recent surgery are all associated with swelling.  Part of finding the right surgeon includes identifying a physician with whom you can openly communicate at all times.  My patients get my office phone number, cell phone, e-mail address, and pager.  If you travelled so far to have such a procedure, I must assume you found a fantastic surgeon who has a similar open communication policy, and is available to you instantly.  He or she is best qualified to answer your question because he/she knows your specific situation, so you should call and ask.

Thank you for the question.

It would be in your best interest to see or communicate with your surgeon for  specific advice.

Having said that significant pubic and genitalia swelling is quite common after liposuction of the abdomen etc. This may have been exacerbated by the long flight ( dependent swelling). The swelling will resolve  within the next few weeks.

Again,  my response above is generally speaking- it would be best for you to communicate your questions and concerns with the operating plastic surgeon.

Best wishes.
