Scrotum swelling after liposuction. How long will it last?

Dear ahmedchaibj,Thank you for your question. It is common to have swelling in the genital area after having liposuction. This can take weeks to resolve. It is best to make an appointment with your operating surgeon with any concerns you have and for treatment advice. I wish you the best of luck with your recovery process.

This takes days to weeks to resolve.  I suggest speaking to your physician if you are concerned.  Lymphatic massage helps and drains at the sites in the groin.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Swelling is common and most swelling subsides in about 6-8 weeks, but there is residual swelling for several months after that.

Ahmed,Sorry to hear about the swelling.  It is very common to have scrotal edema for weeks after an abdominal liposuction.You should follow your Plastic Surgeon's instructions on how to deal with the swelling.I have patients were tight underware or scrotal supports (athletic supports) after the surgery.  This tend to reduce the amount of water accumulating in the area.  I also have you resume your normal activity as tolerated.  The size of the scrotum may interfer with comfortable walking, but it is not dangerous.Hope you feel better soon.Dr. T

Thanks for your candid question, which is a common one that never gets asked. Yes, this swelling is very common for men who've had liposuction around the lower abdomen. I'd say that it typically gets better within a few weeks, but can take 3 months or more to completely resolve. I'd suggest an athletic supporter or tighter workout undershorts to provide some compression. Make sure your surgeon takes a look as well to avoid any complications. Best wishes to you.
