Is bruising and ecchymosis normal after liposuction? (Photos)

Thank you very much for your question and
photographs. Swelling and bruising are common after liposuction. However, from
your pictures, it does not look like you are dealing with bruises. It appears
that part of the skin is damaged and necrotic. This will require immediate
attention from a board certified plastic surgeon, experienced in wound care and
scar reduction. I recommend scheduling an in-person examination with a
qualified physician right away to ensure proper medical care and close
monitoring of your recovery.

Bruising is absolutely normal after liposuction but you appear to have significant burns, which is a devastating complication from liposuction, particularly in relation to energy based devices like laser and ultrasound liposuction.

If your procedure wasn’t performed by a board certified plastic surgeon, your provider may not recognize this and may not be trained in the management of burns. As such, I would get an opinion from one certified by the board of plastic surgery emergently. You need aggressive burn management for the best possible outcome after this. These second and possible third degree burns (which are significant) can have consequences such as Infection and bad scarring if not managed early and appropriately with wound care and possible additional surgeries to remove dead skin. 
Best wishes for recovery and i am so sorry this happened to you. Please seek an opinion from a board certified plastic surgeon if not done already, ASAP
