Liposuction Bruising: How to Get Rid of Bruising After Lipo?

Thanks for the question. After Liposuction surgery, 3-9 months you still see progress in the performance of the surgery. After 1 month you will still have swellings and it is still early to say something about the final result. You should follow up the progress with your surgeon. I wish you all the best.

Bruising is often minimal after this procedure unless your dietary supplements, NSAID medications, certain vitamins, or history of easy bruising. Bruising and swelling are normal in the suctioned areas and usually increase slightly after the removal of any tape or foam. The bruising will decrease over 3-4 weeks, but may last as long as 6 weeks. The majority of the swelling will be gone within the first 3-4 weeks. However it may take 6-9 months to disappear completely. The compression garment helps reduce the swelling, and the longer it is worn, the more quickly the process will proceed. You can schedule the procedure whenever you want. Some lasers and Arnica Gel may also help bruising from #liposuction.

Many factors contribute to bruising after Liposuction. With the all pervasive tumescent technique, it is expected that your surgeon not be hurried and that she/he waits twenty minutes after putting numbing fluid in to get maximal vasoconstriction or tightening of the blood vessels and a blanched appearance to the skin over the fatty areas.Avoid aspirin, Motrin, ginseng, gingko, garlic, St. Johns Wort and the list goes on and on for at least 5-7 days before and after your surgery. Lastly, take Arnica Montana and Bromlain, which is found in fresh pineapples, for at least 2 days before and after surgery. Bruises that are slow to reside may respond to certain laser light therapy designed to break up the blood elements in the bruised skin.
