What can I do do get rid of these bruises? Is it abnormal to have big bruises 7 weeks after liposuction of my thighs? What can I do to set rid of this? Could they be permanent?
Answer: Post-op bruising Thank you for the question. It is rather difficult to fully evaluate your situation without an in-person exam. Typically, it takes 2-3 weeks for most bruising and postoperative discomfort to resolve and additional 2-3 months for swelling to completely subside. At 8 weeks post-op, it may still be too early to observe final liposuction results. However, if persistent bruising is bothering you, you should definitely alert your plastic surgeon to these concerns. An in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon would be the best way to assess your needs and obtain a reliable medical advice. Best of luck!
