Dear Kaykay1 Liposuction causes a great deal of swelling. The pubic area is at the bottom of this swelling so swelling in this area following liposuction is to be expected. Over the course of several weeks, this swelling will gradually go down. Occasionally, we see patients who develop swelling in the genitals for a couple days after abdominal liposuction. While this is less common and certainly alarming, it rapidly subsides. Give yourself time to heal from your liposuction. If you are concerned about your progress, call your doctor's office. Generally, there is not much to look at or do after a liposuction so follow ups are often set many weeks after the procedure. However, this does not mean the office does not want to hear from you. If you are concerned about your progress, see your doctor.
