1-year post-op Liposuction and bruising still there, why? (Photos)

This looks like hyperpigmentation which can happen after your procedure and is due to damage to the underlying small vessels in the upper levels of the skin. This can be improved with external devices such as venus legacy and/or lasers as it improves the vascularity of tissue. See a body contouring expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for the question, if a laser was used it may be a rare form of vasculitis that can be seen. I suggest seeing a dermatologist who may be able to use laser therapy to solve your problem

Thanks for the question, this is pigment left behind in the tissues as bruising and inflammation from the surgery resolves. This is uncommon, but more likely to occur with areas that had much more bruising. Bruising is blood that leached into the surgical area and as the bodies natural mechanisms try to clean up the bruising occasionally the iron pigment (hemosiderin) can stay in the area. Appropriate lasers for brown pigment can help as long as the pigment is close enough to the surface. This can still resolve on its own, but that can take several years not one year. Best wishes going forward

Thank you for your question and photos. I am not sure where you had lipo and what type of lipo.  I see some pigment changes in that area but it's not bruising this far post op. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Good luckDrMaz
