How Long Will Bruising Last After Liposuction of Muffin Top/ Love Handles?

Congrats on your happy occasion. Bruising and swelling are normal in the suctioned areas and usually increase slightly after the removal of any tape or foam. The bruising will decrease over 3-4 weeks, but may last as long as 6 weeks. The majority of the swelling will be gone within the first 3-4 weeks. However it may take even more months to disappear completely. The compression garment helps reduce the swelling, and the longer it is worn, the more quickly the process will proceed. Since this is so close to your wedding night, I recommend putting the surgery off as there may be sensitivity and numbness.

Maximum swelling is usually within about three to five days after your surgery, and the majority of it along with bruising goes away in two to three weeks. You may feel some firmness, though, for a few months afterward. You can assess your results at three to four months after surgery.The amount of bruising you'll experience depends on several factors, including the technique applied, the extent of correction desired and your body. If you find that you're quite sensitive and bruise easily, then you can expect to have more bruising after your surgery. If you don't, then you won't have as much.

Bruising cannot be predicted despite the claims of marketers about their devices or products. Although in most instances, most bruising resolves by 3-4 weeks, this is not always true. You may want to put off surgery if this is a very important concern.
