Bruising of your back is absolutely expected after mini tummy tuck and liposuction of the flanks. It is mostly related to the liposuction and can actually get quite ‘colorful’. Blood tends to pool in the tissue after the fat is pulled out and it goes to the lowest point – worst in the low back from gravity in both the standing position and when lying on your back (as you are recommended to do after a TT and lipo). At first you will see purplish and red discoloration, but as it metabolizes and fades it may get green, then yellow and orange before back to normal. Don’t be alarmed…it is never permanent!
It is possible after Lipo and tummy tuck to have bruising in these areas. Due to the gravity the edema can move down the body. I would follow this up with your initial surgeon.
Yes, this can be normal. However, it's better to discuss pain and bruising this early in the process with your surgeon. Best wishes,
It is normal to have bruising and swelling near the area where liposuction has been performed. However if its too tender and painful, kindly consult the surgeon who operated you.
Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Because liposuction can result in some bruising the blood can track with gravity down the sides and to your buttocks or legs. This bruising should resolve over the next 2-3 weeks. Hope this helps.
Yes bruising is common after liposuction. Arnica cream may help it resolve more quickly. Be sure to closely follow your surgeon's instructions and keep her/him informed of any concerns.

Bruising is common especially after any liposuction. Arnica Should help it subside and you can find this at most health food stores. I would recommend following up with your surgeon if you have any additional concerns.

This question is best answered by your surgeon who is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery. Obviously you will need to remove it for bathing or laundering, but should be wearing it according to your surgeon's instructions otherwise. ...
An exam is needed to know for sure but it appears you may be a better candidate for a standard tummy tuck which would address the loose skin both above and below the belly button. A mini tuck would give you improvement, but may fall short of the result you are wanting. See a board certified...
Congratulations on your procedure! The majority of swelling will have resolved 3-6 months after surgery, though it will be longer for you to see your final results. To promote optimal recovery be sure to closely follow your surgeon's post operative instructions and keep her/him aware of any...
