No bruising or incision marks after lipo. Is this normal?

Hello dear, thanks for your post. There is absolutely no correlation between the amount of bruising after liposuction was a good or bad surgery. Some
patients have very significant bruising after a liposuction  and some
have none. The good news is your are on the right side of the bell
shaped curve. However, some people just bruise a lot and some don't.Good luck :)

It is possible to perform liposuction of the flanks from the area of the tissue to be removed after the tummy tuck, thus obviating the need for separate incisions.  If your surgeon felt comfortable he or she could gain adequate access to these areas, this is a reasonable approach. That there was no bruising is unusual, however.  At 12 months you should see the final result of the lipo.  If your weight is the same, your present photos should show an improvement compared with your preoperative photos.  May I suggest scheduling a follow-up with your surgeon and asking for this comparison.  It seems you're doubting the liposuction was even performed. If this is the case, discuss it with your surgeon, and if you still have concerns, do not hesitate to seek a second opinion with a board certified plastic surgeon.  Best of luck!
