I'm 9 wks post Liposuction, I've worn my compression garment for 9 weeks 24/7. I still see swelling, is this normal? (photo)

Surgeons have differing opinions about the length of time the garment should be worn. In my own practice it's about 3 weeks. I a a strong promoter of lymphatic drainage by a therapist trained in this technique. This is not your typical 'Swedish Massage' or 'Deep Tissue Massage'. I find my patients clear their swelling and stiffness much faster when this type of therapy is instituted about a week after surgery. Most patients are about 70% healed at 6 weeks but will take 4-6 months to get to the 90% healed mark. Other factors are your unique response to this kind of trauma and of course the technique of your surgeon.  Your surgeon should be able to address your concerns and offer you some reassurance of how you will ultimately heal. Time is certainly on your side for now.  Best of Luck    Dr Harrell
