Does Swelling on Knees After Liposuction Last Longer Than Other Areas?

Swelling differs from patient to patient, but usually last between 1-3 months. A compression garment will serve to reduce swelling more rapidly.

Hi, you are not alone in this dilemna.  With the suction of the medial and lateral thigh and the knees, the swelling will persist longest in the most dependent area.  If you could lounge around all day and keep your legs elevated, this would help, however, this is impractical for 99.9% of all people and does put you more at risk for deep venous thrombosis by not ambulating.  Compression garments will aid this process, but in the end, it is tincture of time for all of the swelling to finally subside.  If you come back to this post, please post a follow up to let us all know when the swelling finally went away and if you are happy with your procedure.
