Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

What you are experiencing may be completely normal. However as a seroma is a potential complication this should be demonstrated to your own surgeon.

Jeff Angobaldo, MD · Answer

Thank you for submitting your question. You need to be
examined by your surgeon to make sure you do not have a fluid collection. 
In general, swelling after liposuction will last for many weeks after surgery
Final results take 6-12 months. Lymphatic massage and using a contour garment
will help with the swelling. Discuss your concerns with your Plastic Surgeon.
