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)

I personally do not think massage has any role in convalescence from liposuction. Aggressive massage can be traumatic and would prolong the convalescence.

Contouring alterations as the ones you describe might be evident up to 6 months post any liposuction procedure. During that period lymphatic drainage massage and compressive garment especially during the day might be helpful aiming to faster recovery. 

The symptoms that you are describing are rather normal, and you can have some variable swelling for many weeks after liposuction.  Try not to worry and be sure to check back with your plastic surgeon for followup!

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
