Is swelling in the pelvic area normal after liposuction? 1 month post-op. (Photo)

It is difficult to say based off your photo. However, swelling can last 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

yaya45589.  It is fairly common for swelling to accumulate in the pelvic region after abdominal and flank liposuction because of gravity. It should resolve with time, but if you have concerns you should check in with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.

What you are experiencing is not uncommon. You are still early in the healing process and swelling might persist for a few more months. Usually, it resolves on its own as you heal. It usually takes around 6 months or so to fully heal and by then you will be able to see your final results. Follow up with your surgeon regularly.
