I just had Liposuction and a full Tummy Tuck done a week ago. I'm very pleased with what I've seen so far. However, I have extensive bruising from my hips to my knees, both sides of my stomach area, and the pubic area. How long before these bruises heal, and how can I speed up the healing process?

Answer: Tummy Tuck and Liposuction Most of the bruising is from the liposuction surgery. 10 days is still to early, the bruising should be gone in another 2 weeks and you will be feeling better by then. If you have concerns regarding your recovery you should ask your surgeon.

Answer: Tummy tuck bruising and healing Most patients will be placed in an abdominal binder, which they will wear the first week. There is usually a fair amount of swelling and the binder should be opened several times a day so that there are no pressure points. After the first 7 to 10 days the patient is placed in an elastic garment for compression over the next six weeks. Swelling can persist for several months and will gradually improve and will look better at three months, six months, and even one year. Frequently the pubic area and the scrotal and penis area for men can become very swollen and discolored during the first two weeks due to gravity as this is the lowest area for swelling to accumulate.You can return to full activity without restrictions at 6 weeks.Liposuction adds to bruising . Swelling can persist for several months after the liposuction.

Answer: So far so good For 1 week your photo and bruising is very typical. Bruising around the abdomen is to be expected. Regarding the bruising down to your knees likely liposuction was also performed on your thighs/hips and it does move lower with gravity.Arnica montana is an over the counter herbal remedy that can be used orally and topically to help with bruising. Vitamin K can be helpful as well. It can take a few weeks for all the bruising to resolve. Looks like you are doing just fine!
