How long should I expect swelling after liposuction? I've heard tissues under the skin can harden after surgery. How long does this typically last? Is this something that generally dissipates over time, or is it something that really requires active treatment to be resolved? If the latter, are there treatments you recommend in addition to massage?
Answer: Swelling Swelling is common and expected after liposuction. A good percentage of the swelling will resolve after 6 weeks, but final results are not seen for 6 months. Compression garments and massage are helpful in controlling swelling and helping the tissues to heal. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Answer: Post-Liposuction After Care -- Compression, Lymphatic Massage, Hyperbaric Oxygen, Radiofrequency (Venus Legacy, Exilis, Forma) Swelling post-lipo can persist for months, so it's important to be on the right after care protocols. In addition to compression, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and radiofrequency treatments, lymphatic massage is highly effective in the prevention of fluid buildup, scar tissue, inflammation, and infections. Lymphatic massage also decreases the chance of irregularities, lumps or bumps; accelerates healing and minimizes downtime; and, following a liposculpture procedure, can help further contour the abdominals.
