Is it normal after liposuction and butt lift to swell around the vaginal area?

Question

It's hard a little bit around the vaginal area but doesn't hurt at all

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This is very common especially if the abdomen, inner thighs or buttock are treated.  I suggest speaking to your physician if you are concerned.  The body drains down so all the swelling form above moves to the gentials and stays there till it is moved out of the lymphatics or drained.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Julio Clavijo-Alvarez, MD, MPH, FACS · Answer

I am sorry that you are having concerns about your procedure
and thanks for sharing your question. I can appreciate your
concern.

It is normal. It is similar to the effect
of and atomic bomb. The main area of
work has the most damage, but the surrounding areas will get the collateral
damage. Swelling is the extension of the trauma that your body underwent with
your surgery.

Finally, make sure that your doctor is
aware of your process. He should be able to guide you best in your care.

Wishing you the best in your journey

It's not unusual at all to have swelling in the vaginal area after these procedures,especially if the liposuction is in the lower abdomen or the mons. Also many times a garment is worn with an open crotch, this allows the swelling to settle in the vaginal area as it is not being compressed by the garment. Eric Weiss MD

Gary W. Cox, MD · Answer

Occurs quite commonly and swelling alone is not indicitative of a problem particularly if liposuction was performed nearby.   If concern persists contact your doctor.

Larry Pollack, MD · Answer

It is very possible for you to have swelling of the vaginal area after liposuction, but you should check with your surgeon.  If you had liposuction of the abdominal area, it is likely.
