Liposuction 6 days post op. It hurts to get out of bed. Is this normal?

Hello PreciousK,
I’m sorry for the adverse symptoms you are experiencing! Pain, bruising and swelling are common temporary side effects after liposuction. The swelling and bruising during the first week are significant, and most patients will have difficulties moving around, in general. However, your surgeon will give you pain medication to handle any pain that might be involved and help you feel much more comfortable. After the first 7-9 days, you will notice that the swelling, soreness, and pain will begin to fade away. You will see significant improvement in the way your body feels and looks in the following 2 weeks. Be patient during these 2 weeks and you will then begin to see the final results of your liposuction procedure. Refrain from strenuous activity for the first month after surgery and contact your surgeon promptly if you notice an increase in swelling, pain, redness, drainage, or bleeding in the surgical area, or if you develop fever (above 100.4 F), dizziness, nausea, or vomiting. Hope this is helpful! Dr. De La Cruz.

Hello and thank you for your question! Liposuction can be quite an aggressive procedure, so it is not uncommon to still be experiencing some pain/soreness. Six days may seem like a lot, but it takes the body anywhere from six months to a full year to recover completely from liposuction. That's not to say you will experience pain during this entire time, as most pain and swelling should start to diminish around the second to third week post op.
If you continue to have pain that does not subside I would suggest contacting your surgeon for a follow up exam. 

Best of luck!
