Question

Also looks as if my stomach is getting bigger than it was before.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

There can be some bruising after liposuction, but I recommend following up with your Doctor for a formal evaluation and after care instructions. You may have swelling for 3-6 months after your procedure. I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
You are still on the healing process it can take up to 6 months to 
see your final results, swelling and bruising is normal so i recommend to be patient. If you have any 
concerns, i suggest you follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
. Good luck :)

Thank you for your question. Bruising is common after lipo and it can be extensive occasionally like in your case. I recommend you to continue to follow instructions from your PS and see him/her for evaluation. Usually bruising will go away in 10-14 days.
