I had mini TT with Bladder lift two weeks ago. Some lipo to waist and back, 500ml total. 3hrs of surgery with epidural left me unable to move my lower body for over 12hrs. I immediately got up and walked as soon as I could. My biggest complaint thereafter was a sore butt. After a week, I caught sight in the mirror... Could this not have been prevented? cheers

Answer: Bruising Around my Tailbone After TT
I don't know which areas of your back had suctioning done. This bruising is most likely related either to that suctioning or to the epidural.
The best way I know of to avoid bruising is to not have surgery. The strategies to minimize surgery include:
avoiding medicines (like aspirin) that interfere with clotting of blood
avoiding high blood pressure--treat before surgery
no smoking.
use of dilute local anesthesia (tumescent solution) for liposuction and tummy tucks
Nonetheless, there is usually some. Other than in the tailbone area, I see less than I would expect after just two weeks. This too will resolve.
Thanks for your question, best wishes.
