Will Liposuction Swelling Become Chronic?

Regarding: "Will Liposuction Swelling Become Chronic?   I had liposuction procedure done 8 months ago, and my lower abdomen still swells during the day not as much when I just wake up but doesn't take long for it happen as soon as I stand up. I'm so worried that becomes a chronic condition, it is very frustrating."

I do not mean to worry you but I have been practicing Cosmetic Surgery for a while and I have never had a Liposuction patient who had such symptoms this far after surgery. Chronologically, the condition is chronic. You need to be examined to make sure you do not have a chronic seroma.

Usually the swelling from liposuction goes away within 3-6 months.  The abdomen seems to be slower in resolving and, occasionally, individuals can get chronic swelling.  I agree with Dr. Brown.  A complete exam and imaging could definitely help clarify the cause of underlying symptoms.
